You have to read the assumptions behind the mileage figures and drive according to those assumptions. Buyers tend to do neither.

My ‘04 Saturn Vue has the 2200 4-cyl. engine with a five speed manual and it gets better milage than the posted MPG for the Hybrid Vue. Remember one still pays more upfront for a Hybrid.

I personally klnow a Prius owner who drove from Maine to Fernandina Beach, FL in a Prius without using a drop of gas or a millivolt of precious energy.
Cross winds were a problem, as he was towing it behind a Winnebago. This was duly reported to Toyota, who used it to figure average Prius MPG.
