Hybrid Gas Mileage

Why is the fuel consumption of hybrid cars is more in the city?

Hybrid cars save energy in two ways:
1.by store energy for breakage
2.by engaging the gasoline engine only work in the most efficient RPM which means that the system will engage the gas engine for most stag speed (near the most efficient engine RPM)
Having said the above, in city driving almost never takes you to the speed effectively.

Also, it is true that the same energy that is stored in the battery car would be produced by chemical energy. The cool thing is that the pollution can not be outside the city and not in the city. (As in San Francisco, the electric buses generate pollution as a gas buses, it is simply not in the city.

You can also add that electric motors are much quieter then the gas engine.

So all in all, I benefit hybrids are more visible in city driving

Gasoline consumption is better for some hybrids in the city because they spend more time using their electric motors instead of gas engine. Most hybrids have batteries that are charged by the so-called "breaking generation. Instead of slowing down the traditional braking, these cars stock part of the braking energy in a battery. Then, when the light changes and the car moves again, the energy stored in the battery can be used to move the car, or assist in moving the engine of the car.



In the city, this effect may be more pronounced due to more frequent stopping and starting.

There are two reasons already mentioned - using the energy of the break, using the gasoline engine only when it can work effectively.



One last thing to note is that for several cars, the hybrid model of a car has an engine smaller than regular gas models (eg Honda Civic gasoline engine for the hybrid model is 1.3L, which did is not available in regular models). Thus, even without other things, this engine will get better gas mileage than the engines above.
