In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
What's the biggest tire that will fit my microwave?

I pushed the popcorn button, but I still don’t have any popcorn! WTF?
Well go to the Hyundai forum and post your question there!

Probably gets less MPG on the highway because the aero dynamics become a much bigger factory then just rolling around in traffic.

2021 Prius, gets 58mpg city/ 51mpg highway. so maybe the electric systems are able to do most of the work at low speeds vs on the highway?

I have a coworker with an old 4cly escape that claims he gets worse mpg on the highway.
Yes. Toyota's system relies heavily on the electric motor. In fact, at speeds up to 30 MPH (or more, I forget), the Prius can run solely on the electric motor. The ICE will cut in if you accelerate hard, but then cut out when you reach cruising speed (as long as you're under the speed where it needs the help of the ICE to maintain speed).

On the highway, the ICE runs constantly because the electric motor can't maintain highway speeds.

For the record, Ford, in the Escape and Fusion hybrids, used Toyota's system.

You go to other forums!? How could you cheat on us like that!?!
It's not what you think it is, I promise. The other forums aren't as good as this one. It's just every now and then. I can stop whenever I want to. Sometimes my other cars need work. It just for the articles I don't look at the pictures.

What? You have non-RBV vehicles?

I only have ONE RBV. Technically two, but The Explorer is a donor and the Ranger hasn't moved under it's own power in 2+ years. My Daily is a 30+ mpg 08 Corolla. I have a "rolling Project truck" in my 87 Nissan Hardbody, that I drive at least once a week and on weekends. I have my wife in a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. I am on one forum for each model. This is by far, the most informational one. The ToyotaNation.com forum is almost as fun as this one. The Hyundai Forum sucks and is full of pretentious people under the delusion that they own a luxury vehicle, because they paid $40k for their Economy Class vehicle. The InfamousNissan.com guys are pretty cool, and it also has tons and tons of info that can be very helpful, like this one, it's just a dated format, much like this one was before the update a few years ago.

Where's my badge?
Already got the black hat.*

Ideally, my Maverick would be an ST with 2.3 Ecoboost/6 Spd and those nice low profile tires as found in European Focus ST.
OK, I'll settle for Auto and AWD, but the 2.3 and low profile tire are non-negotiable.​

*Got buckle and boots, too.
