The article says that the new vehicles will get 17.8 km/L, or 41.9 MPG (5.6 L/100km) according to my HP48SX. I wonder just how they came up with that answer, as it's about double the RX330's number. Personally, I doubt its accuracy unless you're talking about strictly stop-and-go city driving, where a hybrid shines. My results would almost certainly be lower than the pure gas version, as the vehicle weighs more, and hybrids provide no advantage at all in highway driving - where the same 3.3-liter engine as in the RX330 would be running full-time.
