why are hybrids still getting terrible gas mileage per gallon when technology is better than that?

I did some research on hybrids and I found that there was a guy who took a DC 10 starter motor and if i remember correctly a 20 horsepower gas motor, put the two into an opel gt along with some batteries way back in 1975!! that's right 1975... and he was getting 75 miles per gallon of gasoline. What happened to the gas milage in the new hybrids? What's the difference with this guys opel vs. new tech? I would think that if back in 1975 one could get 75 mi per gallon, with todays tech we should be in the high 100's. Anyways I feel the future of cars is in solar power untill we hit a major breakthrough with cold fusion...
you need to google opel electric car and read the story about this car. It is said the top speed is 90mph. Don't answer till you at least look this up online so you don't ask questions that need no answer.

I'll bet the guy got his 75 mpg under very special conditions. Like he stripped the car of excess weight, drove at 28 miles per hour, went downwind, didn't play the radio. didn't use headlights, didn't use heater, didn't use air conditioner, and drove alone.

My friend gets 52 mpg with his Prius on the highway at freeway speeds. That's pretty good.
