Default Re: Do Gas Milage Hits Affect Non-Hybrid Equally?

The "tiny 1.3" is an advantage for gas savings in general but the smaller engine is more affected by load. For example if you are driving 70 plus, or running the AC a lot, the small engine really is not the way to go.

My HCH is perfect for my regular commute to work at 40-45 mph but it struggles to maintain highway speed in hilly areas.
