Its gas engine acts as a generator to charge the battery when it runs down. It runs electric all the time. For longer trips it will get over 50mpg. The hybrids that don't plug-in change back and forth between electric and gasoline power and have regenerative breaks and other tech to recharge the battery. Hey Alex,

And believe me the looks are very important for me. Just as much as the specs, which seem to be great. If I were to buy a hybrid that certainly the one I would (afford) buy.
