18. Let Us Not forget Hydroelectric

Also, hybrids will get better mileage with better batteries, even without
external electric charging, because they will be able to utilize regenerative
braking to a greater extent. Lithium Polymer batteries are lighter and hold
more of a charge than the NiMH currently in use.

The Prius is not a small car, yet it beats the Honda Civic Hybrid on MPG
and comes pretty close to the tiny Insight. What kind of mileage would
an Insight get if it had even second-generation hybrid technology like the
Prius?
