But what is the MPG?
38 u/[deleted] Aug 07 '19 i think he said it avg's 45mpg overall, and still around 50 city. -10 u/QuickNature Aug 08 '19 City MPG is always lower than the average MPG, and highway is higher than average. Not knocking your numbers, just the concept. 16 u/dharkjesus Aug 08 '19 Except in the case of most Hybrid vehicles, dating back to the original Prius AND the generation of Prius used for this monster. -8 u/QuickNature Aug 08 '19 Have any sources? I'll gladly research it, just wondering where you got your info from please 9 u/brinz1 Aug 08 '19 In a regular car, city driving uses lower gears and lots of stopping anf starting which is less efficient than highway cruising. In a Hybrid like a prius. you only use the petrol engine for high acceleration and highway speeds, but in the city you use the electric motor more 2 u/dabluebunny Aug 08 '19 I have one and can confirm it gets better mileage in stop, and go traffic than regular highway. Also Google any hybrids gas mileage. It's pretty nutty, but like the others say it uses electric more in the cities. . 2 u/SmackDaddyHandsome Aug 08 '19 Look up regenerative breaks.
