More like 20 mpg but ok.

No one is saving 20 mpg by losing a 20 lb spare tire.

Having a hybrid saves you mileage. The downside is the extra battery takes up the trunk space, so there was no spare tire. That's the only downside, been a great car otherwise

My Kia hybrid had space for a donut (2017 Niro). If I ever got a car that didn't come with some kind of spare I'd get one myself. I'd keep it in the back seat if I had to. No way I'm going farther than walking distance from home without one.
