It was showing a lifetime reading of 5.1 L/100 km (46 mpg US) when I picked up the car (with ~22,000 km on it).

I put about 250 km on it in a week (mostly EV kms), and returned it with the lifetime meter showing 4.9 L/100 km (48 mpg).

Hybrid mode (gas) fuel consumption was ~3 L/100 km (78 mpg, per the onboard display) using very MPG-friendly speeds & techniques on the back roads.
