I would be surprised if it did much better (if at all) than a metro or a crx/insight on gas only. But it costs 100x more. 22 mile electric range is very useful locally, but if you head out into the desert with 2 gallons of gas left thinking you are going to go 188 miles, you might be in for a nasty surprise. I mean the edison2 was vastly superior at efficiency and it only get (an honest) 100ish mpg. I don't like it when the mix wall power and gas into one efficiency figure, it is dumb.
