they travel about two to three miles a gallon, when other vehicles can do nine or 10.

(28 Jun 2015, 6:40 pm)Dan wrote I think the fuel economy largely depends on the set-up of the Hybrid vehicles. In the North East, we see Streetlite Micro-Hybrid vehicles allocated to some quite demanding routes, meaning that they're probably set up to be a bit more powerful. I'd suggest that we can only expect this to continue in the future, too. I think, on average, the Streetlite Micro-Hybrids achieve between 10 and 12MPG.
I believe most standard single decks achieve between 7 and 9 - your heavy-weight single decks at the lower end of the spectrum and your light-weight single decks at the higher end of the spectrum.

As reported in this news article, former "Orbit" branded Optare Versas 8333 and 8338 have arrived at Saltmeadows Road for repaint. The other vehicle is Mercedes Citaro 5300 - but this had already been reported on the forum.
