No, the mileage isn't anywhere near approaching a hybrid. Call it 9.0L/100 Km city and 7.1L/100 Km highway or, for our Imperial using friends south of the border, 26 MPG (US) city and 33 MPG (US) highway. Now consider that Toronto's traffic is arguably the worst in North America, even compared to places like Mexico City, and this is currently made even worse by one of two major arterial highways into the core having one of three lanes closed each way, as you get close to downtown.My old Mazda5 was giving me a measured 11.1L/100 Km, which is about 21 MPG (US). Despite being a 2015 it was in great mechanical shape, had good tires and pressures, etc.. In ideal conditions, on the highway, I'd get sub 7L/100 Km, which is about 34 MPG. The CX-30 is currently giving me a measured 9.1L/100 Km in the exact same commuting conditions. The Mazda5 was a normally aspirated 2.5L. The CX-30 is a normally aspirated 2.5L. The difference? Cylinder deactivation and an extra gear in the CX-30. Your driving conditions will have a great effect on your mileage.Of course I'd love a hybrid, but didn't find one that I liked, and I'm now saving almost $10.00 over 300 Km travelled. Of course that cost $38K with taxes to get <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":ROFLMAO:" title="ROFL    :ROFLMAO:"  data-smilie="18"data-shortname=":ROFLMAO:" /></blockquote>
