Is it really necessary to include the word "Forward" on this diagram? Aren't the seats enough of a hint?

Here are the relevant excerpts about the Volt:

Product mix: GM earns a large share of its profits from high-margin trucks and SUVs, which are vulnerable to a continuing shift in consumer preference to smaller vehicles. Additionally, while the Chevy Volt holds promise, it will likely be too expensive to be commercially successful in the short-term. [...]

The battle lines are being drawn.

Chevy Volt -- 100 mpg, or 48 mpg? - U.S. News Rankings and Reviews

GM considers the Chevy Volt an electric car. The EPA wants to classify it as a hybrid.

I do not see why it can not be done by miles/ energy unit. Say a jewel or something. Convert gas and electric and hybrid to all the same measurement. Hybrids use x amount of gas and y amounts of electricity so x + y = total energy used. Is this unfair in some way ?!?!!?!
