PHEV Emissions Under Estimated 08:33 - Oct 16 with 394 views

Looks like PHEVs have emissions similar to petrol and diesel cars.
If you add in the environmental impacts of scrapping an older car and producing a new PHEV, PHEVs could be worse for the environment, when you consider the whole lifecycle environmental impact, than running a small efficient petrol car?

Doesn't surprise me. PHEV's are heavier than the other hybrid types so will need more power to push them when not on battery power. I am considering hybrid for my next car but won't be going for one of those.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I have a mild hybrid, I drove for an hour today at an average of 28mph, petrol consumption averaged 47 mpg with 8 mpg attributed to to the hybrid system. I have the dashboard display set to capture all the data related to mpg and ' game ' it a bit by coasting downhill and allowing the car to manage it's own braking etc

I've got a smallish petrol SUV which I can get up to 42mpg on a longer trip, around 35-36mpg if I'm mostly city driving.

An average of 47mpg overall would suit me down to the ground and save me a few bob.

Worth doing the research, test driving and being prepared to push for a deal. I usually buy nearly new, but a new one was a better deal with £10K off the list price of £37K. A new model was just being released and the old model needed to cleared out of stock.
