    hybrid cars tend to be useless for high mileage users as when the car drops onto engine power your basically running a petrol car.
    <p style=”text-align: center;”>They are best suited to drivers doing journeys within their limited electric range.</p>
    I tested a RAV4 hybrid and the dealer openly said I would end up getting 30mpg at best. But my Kuga diesel AWD averaged 40 in local driving and 50mpg on a run.

    My Tiguan Allspace is beating those figures and isn’t even run in yet.

    I just handed my car back after 5 years and 6 months with 106k miles and the only thing that would beat diesel is an EV.

    If you where going for a really small car then the answer would be very different.
