hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    MG3 Hybrid mpg claims, how reliable?

    The trip to the gym; The trip home; That is quite a difference. The trip home is slightly uphill, as well as being a minute quicker and 2mph more, but 27.4 mpg more is a lot. Overall, the car indicates 58.9 mpg and has done so for weeks now, no matter what driving we do.
