Not sure where that figurefor T8 comes from. This looks more like a track day type mpg for that car.
T8 people have been reporting low 30s on long runs without charging for t8 like Europe trips etc. Don’t forget that soft hybrids lend themselves to hypermiling techniques much more than diesels. So if you really wanted to you can get more out of it.
