Location issues are weird, eh?

"...a shockingly consistent 34 miles per gallon..." from a 2021 hybrid? And that's 50% more range than its predecessor...?

But ... it's worse than most plain ICEs since about 1990, equal to my 1987 Citroen, long gone, worse than my current crappy old (2005) Renault (c.45mpg in Summer, maybe 42 in Winter, until you do long journeys when it can get up to 59 with a tailwind).
