With gas prices soaring you would think all hybrid vehicles would be enjoying great sales figures.
The Honda hybrid Accord sedan bucked the trend so much so that Honda will discontinue it's hybrid version of the car.
Hybrid car owners apparently want great gas mileage, not just pretty good mileage.
Honda's own smaller Civic sedan gets about 49 mpg and the Accord is around 28mpg and nearly 9G's more expensive ($31,000) which doesn't fit well with many consumers. For hybrid car enthusiasts 28mpg doesn't cut it as they would rather sacrifice size for a smaller car getting great mileage.
Their main competitor, the Toyota Camry hybrid gets about 40 miles per gallon and has a $26,000 price which didn't help matters. Looks like another TKO by Toyota, this time over a competing hybrid rather than a gas guzzler.
