It varies from car to car. My Honda Insight gets about 37 MPG city and 54 MPG highway. Toyotas tend to get better city mileage than highway.
It depends if you want a hybrid, electric (does not need gas), or a normal car that has good gas mileage. A hybrid would probably be the best choice. The average new hybrid is about 15,000 to 25,000 dollars depending what make and model you get.
The main component that makes hybrid cars efficient and is their engine. Hybrids have a gasoline powered engine, but when this engine is coupled with an electric motor the overall effect reduces emissions, requires less fuel, and gets a lot more mileage than a standard gasoline powered car or a purely electric car. A hybrid car's engine and transmission charge the electric batteries that are also part of the car.

The best mileage on any car usually comes from a hybrid car. The toyota prius and honda civic hybrid cars offer excellent gas mileage.
I think the Prius is the hybrid car with the best mileage. I have shopped many websites looking for them, and overall they are the best. Of course, the smartcar is good too.
The cars that give the best gas mileage are smaller cars, electric cars and hybrid cars. Some of these car brands include: Scion iQ EV, Ford Fusion Energi Plug-in Hybrid, Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid and Toyota Prius v.
I drive a gas/electric hybrid car.
A hybrid is generally a car which runs on petrol and electric (powered by batteries)
The average gas mileage of hybrid cars is hard to calculate as it varies so much from one hybrid car to the next. A ballpark estimate would be about 30-40 mpg though.
There is no "average" mileage for a hybrid. Hybrid is a type of drivetrain, so the question would be like asking what the "average" mileage for a gasoline car is, or a diesel car is. You would need to know what vehicle you wanted to know the mpg on. The 2008 Toyota Prius averages a combined 46mpg, which the 2008 GMC Yukon 1500 Hybrid 2WD averages 20mpg.
Hybrid cars are not the same as an electric car. Electric cars run on electric power exclusively, while hybrid cars use a combination of electric energy and another fuel to run.
The first hybrid gasoline-electric car was invented in 1899.Regenerative breaking hybrid car was invented in 1978.
