Interesting, did Toyota Hybrids get better results? I assume you mean standard Auris and not the HSD? Red.

No, its the range - so the Auris and Yaris ranges include the petrol, diesel and hybrid.

With the Auris and Yaris ranges, the HJ Real MPG pages show that owners of the 1.33 petrols get closer to the EU figures than either hybrid -

Auris Hybrid - 78% of the EU consumption figures

Auris 1.33 - 92%

Yaris Hybrid - 76%

Yaris 1.33 - 93%.

Of course this isn't saying the 1.33's are more economical - they're not.
