they are and I think they always were, at least for the modern iterations of hybrids, like when the Prius first came out

in reality though https://i.imgur.com/FdkRMpM.png

Hybrids don't get what their advertised mpg is

My Prius actually gets higher than the advertised mpg

probably because you care

Maybe mine is just some sort of magic fluke

and it matters how you drive it

my Fit is supposed to get 27 city and 33 highway, i get 35 city and 42hwy if i try a little

I also drive <8000 miles a year

drive it like a grandma and up goes the efficiency

I may also drive like grandma

But not my time efficiency

time doesn't change unless you're driving across the state

realistically

take a stopwatch and find out

Tell that to McDonald's

See what they say

or, try to beat google's estimated time of arrival

SEE IF THEY HAND YOU HASHBROWNS

Oh I always beat Google.

and try to arrive late from google's estimated time of arrival

yeah - a 2 minute time saving on your daily commute can cost significantly more

are you beating google on highway trips?

or trips around town

It can cost me breakfast

Both

where do you live lol

Texas San Antone

Okay perhaps google can't predict shit there

but start timing your trips

I'm fairly certain the Prius is still made with Ni-MH batteries. All-electric cars are probably lithium. The rest might vary between manufacturer

I do. I keep track.

I know when I'm late somewhere

you time your trips?

i mean your commutes

like the same trip each time

same time of day

same route

Yes

My routine is pretty set

Tho I'm gathering new data with my main highway reopening
