While most hybrids are said to use one to two litres of fuel per 100km, a study claims they need six litres on average

Plug-in hybrid electric cars (PHEVs) use much more fuel on the road than officially stated by their manufacturers, a large-scale analysis of about a million vehicles of this type has shown.

The Fraunhofer Institute carried out what is thought to be the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, using the data transmitted wirelessly by PHEVs from a variety of manufacturers while they were on the road.

Further more not all owners charge their plug in hybrids. A few years ago there was a report that many leased hybrids are returned with unused charging cables!

Which means nothing, because if you have a tethered charger at home you wouldn't need to use the cable that comes with the car.

I haven't used the cable which came with my MINI and only used the cable in the iX when I stayed in a hotel where the charger didn't have a cable.
