Pretty impressive mpg's. Thanks for posting i like the real world approach to regular driving. Have a slice of Casey's pizza and treat yourself. Im currently unaware of just what it would take for me to buy either the hornet or tonale.
I was looking to see if running the combustion engine for 40 minutes or so would also recharge the battery. It looked like it only added a few percent, probably from just braking. So, correct me if I'm wrong, you still have to plug it in and add $5 of electricity to get the battery back. At $3.50 a gallon, you take add 1.4 gallons to the pump total (dollar for dollar) and it comes out to about 27 mpg. If the combustion engine recharged the batteries, it might make it closer to worth the $10k price bump. I like the idea but am not sold. Sorry Dodge.
Would be interesting to see in town low speed low miles test like a typical 40 miles commute and grocery shopping day. Hybrids shine in low speeds and plug in option would add more. I see websites saying 77 mpge?
Yes, they say 77 mpge and also on window stickers, epa testing is done differently that how we all actually drive. While we had the car, charging every night, I drove it to work for several days using no gas. At the end of the week, we were being 63 mpg
That can be done. We own a 2022 Tucson Hybrid. I will do when I get the chance. We are currently buying a new house and will be moving soon. I will do that as soon as we get moved.
@@offtheshelfrides Hey hi thanks for the response. Nice to know that you got a Tucson. But don't you think those numbers are poor compared to RAV4 Hybrid.?
Still haven't seen any of them in the wild. Or on any Stellantis lots....anywhere😂
Thank you

You are so welcome

I refuse to pay $50,000 for a plug in Fiat.
Please do a mpg test for Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. Eagerly waiting. Thank you

I can tell you that we averaged around 30 MPGs in the winter and 36 MPGs during the summer.

50 grand for a Hornet.... No Way !!
I would just get the GT instead of the RT and no track pack, it's not worth it.
@@offtheshelfrides I Agree
