Don't you usually still have a large battery in a hybrid?
Discussion
My hybrid has a comparable battery to my e-bike :)
The ICE is generating most of the energy on long trips, the battery is just holding the energy from regenerative braking.
Little battery, big difference. I have gotten 3.3 litres per 100 km highway driving in the hybrid, my Mazda would be double that, and the heavy old Mercedes would be triple.
Ah, interesting.
