For the record I use about 1.5 L/100km in my Prius Prime. I used to get about 5 L/100km on my Prius. For my Corolla before that, I'd guess it was about 8 L/100km. That said, it is clear to me that the fuel economy one will get with the Prius Prime will depend heavily on the relative frequency of the various trips one takes.

In comparison, a modern eco VW UP! is around 2.8L/100km in mixed driving, so 1.5 is about a 2x improvement over a good ICE. My old diesel polo does around 4L/100km, so 2.5x for that one. Not bad, definitely a hell of a lot better than the early Prius, but definitely nowhere near BEV efficiencies. I feel like a small-battery BEV is a better proposition for many, especially as pure BEVs have significantly better pure-electric drive-train efficiency than plugins, and less maintenance.
