Surely it depends on what type of hybrid.
A PHEVs will basically just be a straight petrol engine once the battery is used up and use more fuel due to the additional weight, a Prius (or equivalent with the THS) will be more efficent all the time, and a mild hybrid (like this Hilux) is somewhere in between.
