I don't get it...
So I was at the local Lexus dealer, and took a look at the RX400h. Looking at the sticker, the fuel efficiency was 31MPG City and 27MPG Highway... This is the first time I've seen the economy better in the city... what gives?

The Prius and Ford are closer to "full" hybrids.

I wonder how accurate these mpgs estimates are now... I seem to recall, maybe even it was Honda, recently came under fire for having mpg estimates that were found to be completely bogus. I think the company was forced to change the mpg numbers...

Keep in mind, the Toyota system.. the batteries/electric motors will drive the car around town, especially in stop n' go traffic.
The Honda system shuts off only at complete stops. Thus, the Honda system is less efficient around cities. However, it is also a FAR simpler system with cheaper components.
