Hybrids

I was reading an article about hybrid cars in my paper this morning. If I understood it correctly (and I'm sure someone will let me know if I did not), the new hybrids (the new Accord 2005 hybrid) are only averaging about 2 miles more per gallon than a regular V6 and not at all better than a 4 cyllinder. Where as the older hybrids got 70 MPG. They said the new ones only use electric for acceleration. This sort of defeats the purpose to me. Any one interested in hybrids have any info as to why the changes?
