A step in the right direction, but not that impressive for an electric car.... There are Diesel cars in Europe like the Toyota Yaris Diesel that gets around 60-70MPG highway... and its 1/2 the price!

Also even in California gas is $3/gallon right now.

Electricity is 10c per Kw/hr, so at 340W/mile that would be 87MPG as far as money is concerned.
