Laboratory and in-use fuel economy comparison. Eaton hybrid system schematic. The hybrid group accumulated 27% fewer miles than the diesel group during the study, although the hybrids were driving a comparable number of miles per operational day. The team found that hybrid fuel costs per mile were 12% less than for the diesels.
