The consumption figures of your Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV or Toyota Prius fall rather against? Then, you’re not the only one, because you hybrid can just, almost four times more fuel boozing than the manufacturers want you to believe.

Now, this will be for anyone with a little common sense come as a surprise, but thanks to TNO and the travel card we now have for the second year in a row on scientific evidence. Especially the technicians of Mitsubishi seem to be hard to a new calculator. They promise, namely, a consumption of 1.9 litres per 100 kilometres, while that after the analysis of TNO preferably 6,56 liter turns out to be.

The research institute looked at last year as the advantage of the nation’s most widely sold hybrids and concludes that the average consumption by as much as 19.3 percent is increased. Interestingly enough, it is precisely the new models (Outlander PHEV and Volvo V60) responsible for this. That makes the figures extra painful, because the Outlander is thanks to all kinds of tax breaks (because he is supposedly so efficient is one of the most popular cars of the Netherlands.

It was already suggested that the consumption figures are more reliable. Not only hybrids devoid of a lot more fuel than producers, because they want an energy-efficient label want. The new test methods allow, unfortunately, still a while to wait.
