" Hybrids are overhyped, according to Volkswagen Chief Executive Bernd Pischetsrieder.   &amp;quot;On the highway, they use substantially more fuel than modern diesels, and they cost more to produce,&amp;quot; Pischestrieder said, speaking at the Los Angeles Auto Show.   He went on to say, &amp;quot;Any significant reduction of fuel consumption under all conditions requires diesel technology [and] is uniquely positioned to lead in this area.&amp;quot;   Diesel vehicles represent about 10 percent of VW&amp;#039;s U.S. sales, Pischetsrieder said. That percentage will grow, he said. &amp;quot;We will promote and advertise diesel engines because we think they are the wave of the future,&amp;quot; he concluded.
