Answer 1

Hybrids are too convenient for the middle class. Engineers can make hybrids get 150+ mpg. In fact, this has been achieved for decades. But the approved ones for consumers are intentionally being limited to 55+- mpg. Mass producing hybrids at 150+ mpg would be too disruptive and too convenient for the middle class.
