Tests of its functionality at low speeds typical
of city driving showed good performance, with collisions avoided at all test speeds.
However, before performing the fuel economy test, I noticed the trip computer average dropping below 12 mpg in
city driving with no grid charge on the battery.
So is the GT's estimated fuel economy average of 28 mpg
during city driving and 39 mpg on the highway.
Many people have mentioned that their hybrid gets the same mileage in stop - and -
go city driving as they do on the freeway.
New protocols can further reduce traffic congestion and make fuel economy in
city driving conditions more efficient.
The steering too is pretty heavy which will
make city drives taxing on the hands.
If you tend to long journeys or
even city driving for that matter, a comfortable seat will ease in your journey right from the start.
Both cars returned slightly less than 20 mpg in
city driving using the air conditioner, not the 25 expected.
Though the car is dated; the yields enough power for
city driving as well as aggressive driving on the highway.
Training can focus
on city driving skills and / or highway driving as per your request.
In contrast
slower city driving speeds are more efficient and electric vehicles have a unique benefit in stop and go, low - speed driving due to regenerative braking.
Fuel consumption is estimated at a combined 19 mpg which is best in class but expect to see much worse
if city driving constitutes a large portion of your commute.
Fuel consumption has been improved to just short of 40 mpg in
normal city driving, and carbon dioxide emissions have also been cut.
Additionally, it's great for
city driving because it has a short wheelbase that makes it easy to maneuver and fit into small parking spots.
It is also perfect for
inner city driving due to its excellent fuel economy and small size.
The clutch is very light too and along with a light steering, makes
city driving quite effortless.
For
short city drives, such as taking his children to football, he has found that a fully charged car battery is sufficient.
When I drive around in regular
city driving where the traffic is reasonable I get 8 - 10 miles per gallon.
This is based off of my current driving habits, which includes lots of short
distance city driving and some freeway driving a few times a week.
Its tidy dimensions make it a good option for close -
quarters city driving and its spacious interior is plenty big for four passengers; five if they're small.
Tests of the functionality of this system at the low speeds typical of
city driving demonstrated good performance, with collisions avoided at all test speeds.
These most fuel - efficient vehicles are those with the lowest combined fuel consumption rating; a rating based on 55 per
cent city driving and 45 per cent highway driving.
Fuel economy is also middle of the pack although the second drivetrain option offers much improved consumption figures, especially if you do a lot
of city driving.
I averaged better than 21 miles per gallon in
city driving with the bed loaded with cargo and the air conditioner running.
All engines are equipped with Stop / Start technology and smart regenerative charging harvesting kinetic energy while braking to charge the battery for maximum economy, especially
during city driving.
