Reciprocating piston engines are inherently inefficient. I would NOT worry about vehicle weight. There is a lot of weight in power windows, power mirrors, and even automatic transmissions, which people won't do without. Owning a hybrid is a good stepping stone toward a full Electric vehicle, so that is a GOOD thing. There needs to be more charging stations built so that full Electric vehicle owners do NOT experience range anxiety. Every year E-vehicles are making improvements to the batteries and charging etc. All state governments should encourage E-vehicles, not just California.
