I am skeptical. My wife drives a plug in hybrid. She buys gas ever six weeks or so now. She used to buy gas about every ten days. I wonder what conservative think tank is sponsoring the bias in the research results.

Plug-in hybrids if plugged in often are able to drastically reduce emissions and fuel use. The studies seem to indicate that most plug-in hybrid owners are not plugging in their hybrids often, and thus do not efficiently use them. It's more an issue of user-error, not the technology itself.
