I "Get" the letter grade, but would also like to see exactly the fuel and electric (from the wall, battery returned to initial state of charge) contributions to the EPA test cycles listed separately, and not fudged. I think both is best, then you can say "this is mostly electric, or mostly gas, or half and half" with some reliability. If it just has a letter, you don't really know how efficient the different power sources are.
