In low-speed driving, you should see similar MPG to the Prius. An eco-driver familiar with the way the drivetrain works would be able to get 50-70 MPG pretty easily in
my local driving environment in mild weather. (Your mileage may vary.)
That assumes you're running LRR tires to maximize engine-off glides.
On the highway, it'll suffer compared to the Prius due to the higher drag body.
