I own a Prius Prime. Most of my driving is on the battery. When I lived in Austin and drove over 26,000 miles/ year I filled up twice a month. (I am not sure about the tank size, 11 or 12 gallons. I never get below 1/4 tank before refueling).. Since I moved to the Netherlands 27 months ago I have filled up three times. Last time was on half a tank. I haven't bothered to calculate the mpg for my car.

Edir: I Googled the gas tank size. 11.3 gallons. So in over two years my car has used less than 30 gallons of gas.

No they are not. The article picks the wrong cars, the volt, Clarity, rav4 prime, and some other JohnSJ Sep 2021 #2

Is it the 'wrong' ones? Or were they the exact 'right' ones? nt Hugh_Lebowski Sep 2021 #4

Terrible article. Volt, Prius and Insight get GREAT mileage kysrsoze Sep 2021 #3

Most hybrids are also ultra low emissions. JohnSJ Sep 2021 #5
