.& It only stands to reason that the largest vehicles in a lineup, those vehicles for which fuel economy has never been the sole focus, should be among the last to see battery power. Sadly, dipping into the throttle does send the fuel economy reading south, as the 20 mpg combined estimate might be a bit optimistic.

The importance of mass reduction as a means of improving fuel economy, vehicle dynamics and enhancing the driving experience of the new Avalon was a major consideration. The smaller width helps minimize drag losses to help enhance fuel economy, too. Less mass makes Avalon more responsive and engaging near handling limits.

However, they also noted, high PTW efficiencies and the moderate fuel economies of current compressed natural gas vehicles (CNGVs) make them a viable option as well. The study investigated the the WTW energy and emissions from the use of natural gas in CNGVs with a range of CNGV fuel economy and natural gas compressor efficiency.
