Ok, time for me to ask ignorant questions again...

What is the difference between a "fuel mileage" and a "power" hybrid?

a fuel mileage hybrid was designed with high mileage as it's main point. a power hybrid normally only gets a very slight upgrade in fuel mileage yet it gains a decent amount of power.



the accord v6 hybrid only gets like 2 mpg better yet it has an extra 30 or 35 horsepower.
