P/HEV Question

Post Body

Hello all, this might be a dumb question but I’m hoping someone will know the answer and respond politely.

Consider this: I had 145 miles left in my hybrid car before I left for destination A. It was 24 miles away, and I drove back home, meaning my car traveled 48 miles in total. During the way there, I got 48 MPG, and on the way back, I got 49 MPH. When I checked how many miles I had when I got back, it said 96 miles left (145-48 = 96), so where does fuel efficiency in a hybrid car come in. Isn’t this the same as a gas car? Please explain, I’d really appreciate it!
