I don't know of any hybrids with a manual transmission unless you're looking at turbodiesels.
Less distance and lower speed will definitely be more efficient.
If you're oy looking at like 4 mile trips why not get an electric beater car?
It's 30 miles either way, not 4 miles. Also I have never properly considered getting a hybrid or electric car as my current car works, so I've only very recently been looking into it, but I can have a look, I just want to make sure I'm not going to be left in the lurch if I do get a beater car and it dies on me. My current car I've owned for 7 years, and it's only at 81,000 miles, I bought it with 30k on the clock so it's still got life in it and I've never had a serious issue. Always apprehensive about getting something else because I know my car has never completely screwed me, just a couple major issues that still last until I can get them fixed.
