Wow. If that 50mpg during charge is correct, I'll be truly disappointed in GM. It would mean that they haven't built a matched engine/genset, and instead grabbed an existing wide-rpm Atkinson cycle engine. If so, GM sucks. If I can get a steady 50mpg holding 55mph on my non-Atkinson, non-lean burn engine, GM has not done anything revolutionary.
