Yes, I said "On the flat". I also said "plug in rechargeable battery powerful enough to accelerate the car to cruising speed, (and help on the up hills)".
, and I would pad the HP by a few HP, not just use the 14 HP version.
I'm not even sure, in this day of "Premium gas priced" deisel, how much better MPG would be needed to offset the higher priced fuel.
Before we bought the prius, we looked at VW deisel Jettas. Glad we didn't fall for THAT!
