What is the gas mileage of a hybrid?

The gas mileage of a hybrid car can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the specific model, driving conditions, and individual driving habits. However, here's a general idea of the gas mileage that you can expect from different types of hybrid vehicles:

1. Full Hybrids:

- City: 40-55 MPG (Miles Per Gallon)

- Highway: 40-50 MPG

2. Plug-In Hybrids (PHEVs):

- Electric-only range: 25-50 miles (depending on the battery capacity)

- Combined gas/electric: 50-70 MPG (when battery is depleted)

3. Mild Hybrids:

- City: 35-40 MPG

- Highway: 30-35 MPG

It's important to note that these figures are just estimates and actual gas mileage may vary. Some hybrid models may achieve higher or lower fuel efficiency based on their design, technology, and driving conditions. Additionally, hybrid vehicles are most efficient in urban driving conditions where they can utilize both electric and gas power effectively.
