My experience is we got very good benefit on short drives in winter.
My Prius mileage is about 15km/L(35MPG), however my previous car was 1994 Honda Accord Wagon 2.2L and got only 6km/L(14MPG) on the same situation.
We see 2.5 times improvement...
Sure, you'll get a benefit over a traditional vehicle.
I was referring to getting the full benefit of having a hybrid.
