Jump Start CT200

this weekend a family friend wanted to test drive my ct and forgot to turn the engine off - not used to push start in his bmw i guess. and found the car on 4-5 hrs later, only 2 gallons are so less than what it had before. Luckily it started up fine and has been fine since

That didn't sound right. Letting the car idle for 5 hours shouldn't take anywhere close to 2 gallons of gas!

I thought that for a hybrid car, if the regular battery dies, the traction battery should take over the jump start duty.

well it may not have been two gallons exactly but the fuel gauge was def lower as was the avg mpg - and the car didnt go anywhere

also the car was still on but in park just didnt realize it due to how quiet it is
