Hybrid cars tend to get better gas mileage in city driving than on the highway. This is because of the way the electric motor systems are integrated with the regular gas engine. To get the best mpg, you’ll want to use the electric power as much as possible while keeping the use of the gas engine to a minimum.

Some tips to get the very best mileage in city driving with your hybrid are:

• Drive smoothly
• Accelerate modestly
• Coast as much as possible to a stop

If you tend to be an agressive driver who loves to stomp on the gas pedal and brake hard at stops, you’ll find you won’t get the higher miles per gallon hybrids can deliver.
