My car is not as much fuel efficient as before. So i did a vehicle scan and according to that hybrid car battery capacity is only 27%. I want to know that is the low capacity the reason for the low fuel efficiency.

Hi Navindu,

The hybrid battery is important for the fuel economy of the vehicle. If the capacity is low, it is not helping when required. You need to have the battery checked and replaced if necessary.
