You are not selling it as a 230mpg vehicle. In order to make those claims, the user HAS to plug it in. If you recharge completely with gas then what's the point?
I don't mean to say that the engine shouldn't run at bsfc and recharge for a bit, but it should have a management scheme where it does not recharge the battery completely is all, otherwise the electric only miles get thrown out the window.
