The trick to getting the highest fuel economy in a hybrid is learning how to drive it efficiently. Fuel economy for the 2022 UX 250h, which runs on 87 octane gasoline, is EPA rated at 41 mpg city/38 highway/39 combined, but in the Eco drive mode our time traversing Southern California highways covered 221 miles at an average of 42.7

What's so sacrosanct about 40 miles? Interestingly, Lutz says GM is being approached by NiMH manufacturers to use this proven battery chemistry in the Volt.
