If you ever get a chance to drive one you will see you actually get more mpg without using any of the hybrid systems. Thats right. |
I own and drive a hybrid and an ev, no PHEV but that may come some day.
As for the 2nd statement that isn't entirely accurate, the prius warp stealth and P&G techniques are VERY difficult to pull off in a non hybrid. My cobalt P&G is not as effective as I would like for a varienty of reasons and the motor gets bogged down (flooded) when its cold out if I pulse and glide.
My insight can get better without the hybrid under specific conditions but also ends up with other issues without the hybrid on.
