Motor Trend Claims Volt Gets 127 MPG, Not Quite True – Gas 2.0

Yeah, plug-in Prius' have made similar claims :

CalCars' PRIUS+ Plug-In Hybrid

- The Calcars first proof-of-concept: (100+ mpg plus electricity, 10-mile electric range, now with temporary lead-acid battery pack, soon to be replaced by nickel metal-hydride batteries).

- Two EDrive/EnergyCS prototypes: (100+ mpg plus electricity, 30-mile range, with lithium-ion batteries.

I think that regardless of our debate, the term "hybrid automobile" has come to mean an ICE+Something drivetrain, that something being battery assist at the moment.
