When you lease your next PHEV, the 2.0 litre or 2.5 litre PHEV that claims WLTP 188 MPG. A nice little detail from Sky on petrol prices: https://news.sky.com/story/cost-of-living-latest-sky-news-blog-12615118 Remember you have that for 3 years. In these 3 years OPEC will squeeze the West. They need the money and reduce crude supply more and more. But yeah 188 mpg….good luck with that from a 2 litre car.
You really don’t understand modern hybrid engines ?
In very basic outline terms:
ICE vehicles use an Otto cycle on both inlet and exhaust cycle, on the inlet part of that cycle a 2 litre engine draw 2000cc stoichiometric charge 14:7 to 1, under load i.e. acceleration this could drop down to low as 12.5/13, on light loads around the 15 mark.
Hybrid ICE engine use an Atkins cycle the inlet cycle is set to open much later before BTDC than the Otto cycle thus a 2 litre engine drawing a lesser charge around 1300cc, a 2.5 litre engine drawing around 1600cc, however it uses the Otto cycle on the exhaust stroke thus giving a cleaner charge.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has variable timing using both Otto cycle more maximum power and the Atkins cycle for economy.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2.4 including towing a caravan our average running cost over the past 3 years 123.5 mpg.
Our current Suzuki Across 2.5 PHEV is already showing even better running cost.
