I’ve read that newer hybrid cars like the Volt will run on a pure electrical engine for distances of 40 miles or so and then switch to a traditional gasoline engine after that threshold has been reached. However, it’s bad for gas to sit unused in an engine for an extended period of time. If one of these cars is only used for 20 mile commutes over a period of several months, is there any system in place to deal with the fact that whatever gasoline is in there will go unused for long periods of time?
Some cars in the early 90s like the civic, geo metro, etc got 50mpg or more. Howcome almost 20 years later, our hybrid technology is not able to significantly outperform these vehicles?
