How much of the fuel efficiency of a 2016 Prius Plus would you say is due to the different elements of (1) the Atkinson cycle CVT engine (2) hybrid battery system (3) and just the fact that you can't drive it very sportingly?

It does depend on how you drive it because if you go nuts the fuel economy will plummet. Driven sensibly, using Shell V-Power, 60 - 65mpg is possible, plus the benefit of short distances in EV in towns.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
