One of the issues with the hybirds is they don't give good mileage unless
you do a ton of stop and go driving. There is no way they can.
The entire design of the drivetrain is based on regenerative braking keeping
the batteries charged. If all you do is drive highway miles
your mileage is gonna suck, there is no way that it can't the hybird is by
its very nature an obese vehicle due to the addition of
the lectric motor/generators and the additional batteries.
People who use them exclusively for drive it around town in stop and go
traffic will do well but no one else!!!
