Actual gas mileage of hybrid vehicles varies greatly with driving habits
by Mike Adams (see all articles by this author)
Experience is showing that the actual gas mileage achieved by hybrid
vehicles like the Toyota Prius depends strongly on the driving habits of
their owners. The big culprits? Speeding (over 70mph), hard braking and
hard acceleration. In other words, if you're trying to drive your Prius
like a sports car, you'll pay the price at the gas pump. It only
makes sense, of course: new technology can't change the laws of physics,
and these rules of gas mileage apply to all vehicles, hybrid or not. But
no matter what your driving style, a hybrid vehicle will get you far
better gas mileage than a regular gas combustion engine vehicle.
