I've now co owning a HRV RS hybrid, HEV.
overall experience is not as bad as you said, but yes hybrid car not very fuel saving after all
Especially highways and even more so long distance
I'm getting 15-16 KM/L Melaka to KL then KL to Ipoh. (90-120km/h)
Civic FE on highways can go between 16-20 KM/L, at slightly higher speeds. (110-140km/h)
Yes the engine stays in a ton longer on highways, EV light comes on very less compared to stop go traffic lights /traffic jams. (Generally urban driving)
That's where HEV/ hybrids/EV shines.
The puny 1.5L Atkinson engine screams are there, but not loud enough to interrupt conversations.
But yes, like you said, PHEV comes at a premium, it "should" be a given being better, and whatever you saving will never ROI your money spent on the car.
Similarly to buying HEV vs ICE variants
You will only reap the benefits of hybrid if you spend a lot of time in traffic jams or stop n go trafficoverall experience is not as bad as you said, but yes hybrid car not very fuel saving after all
