Coincidentally, Robert Llewellyn got 87MPG on the Prius plug-in on a 300 mile trip with three charges. Obviously, the much smaller pack on the Prius only goes 12-14 miles in EV mode, so the Prius beats the Volt handily in MPG with the ICE running!
I wonder what the charge times are for the Volt vs the Prius? It would be near impossible to charge the Volt more than twice in a 24 hour period, whereas the Prius might squeeze in 3 or 4 charges in that time?
Advantage: Prius plug-in.
