Whatsup Penny pinchers?

Hey guys, clearly I can't spell "pinchers"

Kinda new to the hybrid scene.

I have a goal, and that is 60mpg on the highway in a car.

The car I want is an old school 240Z. Originally I wanted to convert it to full electric but due to ridiculous amounts of added weight and some silly legal requirements courtesy of the State of Georgia (such as EVs can only go "35mph") I decided as of yesterday I need to make it a hybrid.

Obviously I came to the right place.

For now I aim to learn as much as I can before I save up enough to embark on the journey. From what I can gather that journey will be one involving a lightweight gas powered generator and a high torque electric drivetrain with a few batteries as a buffer (or for a few miles in "stealth mode")
