If you have a plug-in hybrid, you often have the choice between gas and electric, without even using a different car. Hybrids easily beat 30mpg.
For example, the Volt is capable of 48 mpg with no charging on gas only. On electric only with no gas, it does 31 kWh/100miles.

- matt_wulfeck 9y agoWow interesting. Is that because of using the heater?
- timthorn 9y agoPartly that, partly the headlights but also the performance of batteries changes with temperature. In fact, the heater is used to condition the environment for the battery pack, so if I didn't use the heating in winter the range might be even less.
