As regards your question, you'd still have regenerative capacity, once the ICE kicked in, and maybe it'll be more than 9 miles: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/66...ts_113mpg.html |
Isn't there a direct correlation between MPG and oil use? Take the "I want my MPG" ads and say... "ahhh... that means less oil used from the 'Axis of Evil'".
