So i was reading the comments from the article about how all lexus hybrids were catagorized under less fuel efficient.
and then budfrog i think said he wanted proof, so here it is...man i have too much free time.

so bottom line, (without looking at gas used since most of this is based on 2007 ratings) there is a difference in air pollution score and how many tons of greenhouse gasses the cars emit.
so more power + less emissions = performance car thats better (not best) for the world
