Thread: Hybrid vs petrol - surprising outcome

Greetings all,
The hybrid vehicles are likely close to the end of their run. I had spotted that they don't save much in fuel. Plug in hybrid vehicles are a little better but you still have to maintain a petrol or diesel engine which rubs out most of the savings. Electric vehicles are the future but we are not there yet. They will take over once batteries get better and cheaper but I may not see it. In the mean time my little Jimny chugs along using way less petrol than many hybrids and only doing around 7,000 km pa I will likely wear out before it does. Downsizing your vehicle to what you actually need will save more fuel than a hybrid.
