I would like to know if a higher capacity battery improves the efficiency of the FEH/MMH without the "plug in" feature.

I always laugh at these numbers.... If you plug it in and run it just until the battery is dead at EV speeds..... you have INFINITE MPG! WOW cool.... If you plug it in and drive it to the range of the vehicle and empty the tank you have something MUCH MUCH lower.
Quoting an MPG number on PHEV's is a laugh. Just make the number up... just as valid. Nothing wrong with a PHEV, they are very very efficient.... just don't give me BS numbers for it is all I ask.
