Another V8 Bites the Dust as Mercedes Reportedly Goes Hybrid for AMG Models

Welcome to the future, whether you like it or not.

I quite like it. Seeing the efficiency performance go up and down as I drive, makes it like a game. I try to challenge myself, makes it interesting since I’m stuck in traffic anyway.

I do this on a much more basic level with my 2.0 turbo. Drive it like a nun and I've had it as high as 44.1 on my 37 mile commute to work. Drive it like my behind is on fire and it has dropped to 24, on a shorter, spirited drive. Turbos are not a panacea, my old Swift averaged 40mpg regardless of how it was driven.
