Why is the BMW i8's gas mileage better than other luxury sports cars?

I've noticed that the BMW i8 has a much better gas mileage compared to other luxury sports cars. Can you explain why this is?

Hey Ethan, that's a great question. The BMW i8 has a plug-in hybrid system which allows it to use both a fuel engine and an electric motor. This makes it much more efficient and therefore has a better gas mileage compared to other luxury sports cars.

Hey Ethan, good observation. The BMW i8 also has a lightweight carbon fiber body which makes it more aerodynamic and requires less energy to move forward. This plays a big role in its improved gas mileage.

Hi Ethan, great question. Another factor that contributes to the BMW i8's better gas mileage is its regenerative braking system. This captures energy while braking and uses it to charge the battery, reducing the use of fuel.
