That being said, here are approximate MPG ranges for different types of hybrid cars:
1. Conventional Hybrids: Conventional hybrids, also known as Full Hybrids, combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery pack. They typically offer improved fuel efficiency compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Depending on the specific model and driving conditions, conventional hybrids can achieve MPG in the range of 40 to 60 MPG in city driving and 45 to 65 MPG on the highway.
2. Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV): Plug-in hybrid vehicles have a larger battery pack compared to conventional hybrids and can be plugged in to charge the battery externally. This allows PHEVs to travel longer distances on electric-only power. PHEVs typically achieve higher MPG ratings in city driving due to the increased use of electric power. MPG estimates for PHEVs can vary, but they often fall between 50 to 70 MPG in city and 50 to 70 MPG on the highway, with the potential for even higher MPG ratings during electric-only driving.
3. Mild Hybrids: Mild hybrid vehicles use an electric motor and a small battery to assist the internal combustion engine, but they cannot drive solely on electric power. They offer modest improvements in fuel efficiency compared to conventional vehicles. Mild hybrids typically achieve MPG in the range of 35 to 45 MPG in city driving and 40 to 50 MPG on the highway.
Remember, these are approximate MPG ranges based on various estimates and can vary depending on individual driving habits and specific vehicle models. It's always best to consult the manufacturer's specifications or fuel economy ratings for a specific hybrid car model you are interested in to get accurate information on its MPG performance.
