I have no idea, but I'm assuming it has to do with the starting of the diesel engine.....its much easier to start a gasser than a diesel....especially in cold weather. There are some diesels out there (Jetta TDI) that get just about as good, if not better mpg than the hybrids. Hybrids loose their efficency on the highways at higher speeds. Hell, I believe Escape Hybrids get something like 35mpg on the highway. Best I've seen so far is ~31mpg, and its not even broken in yet, AND I can tow up to 5k lbs, granted MPG goes down, but reality is its the best of both worlds......
