I thought 35mpg for the gas car was pretty good too. I wish the online version had more of the emissions data that they flashed briefly on the show. I would like to compare the numbers a bit more.

Overall, I think that is one of the best "articles" on alternative powered cars I've seen--kudos to Motorweek for their fairness, and their attempt to level the playing field between the cars. Too bad they didn't do a FEH vs. FE too...

Commuter car, grocery getter, and summer road tripper--average 10k miles per year.


Winter road trips and ski trips, bad weather commuter and my wife's "daily" driver--expected average 4k miles per year.
