In hybrid mode, it automatically runs through electric and then goes to combustion. There’s only 40-50 miles electric and then it switches to combustion. I don’t see how adding 40-50 miles on top of the normal mileage would take it from around 30mpg to 50mpge. Also, it doesn’t seem very different to just using electric only mode and then switching to combustion only. What am I missing here?

This is my question as well. Can somebody tell me, on a flat sea level road trip, traveling 70-80 mph what would one expect to see for a combined mpg if you started with 100% charge and a full tank of gas? Are we talking 25 mpg, 30 mpg, 40 mpg, 50+mpg?
