I'd like to point out that this is very similar to the Accord Hybrid drivetrain - a car which is rated for ~50mpg city. The major difference with the Accord is that it has a clutched single speed "gearbox" which can allow the engine to drive the wheels directly once you're above (I believe) 50-60mph.
