    If your primary use case is short trips of less than 50km then they are extremely economical and if you charge every day you will hardly ever buy petrol.

    on the other hand if you have lots of long trips then they drink fuel. I’ve gotten close to 60mpg average over 6000km out of a Kia Sorento with probably 6 trips to Donegal or Cork. Most of the time it goes on short trips

    The new Tucson is not a mild hybrid, it's a proper hybrid. Expected 5.5-6l/100km in regular driving. The new Sportage will be the same. Both also have a PHEV option which will be an even more economical option.

    This. Short runs & plug in when needed it doesn't really matter if it's petrol or diesel. You won't be using the ice engine. For obvious reasons go for the petrol.
