I used to have a truck with a gasoline engine that burned allot of oil, did that make it a hybrid?

Not only that, but the article states that in order to achieve less NOx you have to run leaner.

That depends on how lean. To reduce NOx you need to keep the flame front below 2700F. I think most "lean" conditions that lead to problems are above that temp.
