My journeys in the hybrid tend to be longish a road, dual carriageway stuff - no town or city driving - hence my feeling that by dragging around all the unproductive weight is not idea. I am buying a 1.4L turbo petrol with stop start, I reckon I will get more or less the same MPG as I am getting with the hybrid and the stop start will do a similar thing to the hybrid when stopped a traffic lights, junctions.
Time will tell!
