On the current ones, probaby the same as non-hybrids. Those don't use the engine as much, but still use them iat speeds above 15-30mph IIRC. They just get turned off while sitting in traffic, at traffic lights, while idling through parking lots, ect. The newer ones where the engine is just a generator will probably be much different since it only runs when the battery is low on power or needs hte extra boost of electricity. With a driving cycle like mine, I could go a year between oil changes and probably a month or more between fuel stops in the new style hybrid!
