Could flirt with 30mpg at low highway speeds.

And 37-65hp is all you need for a PHEV so long as you can engage the 400+ HP Hybrid, so long as you can turn the engine on in hold mode with a full battery at the start of a trip you won’t even notice the 37hp

Worth noting a 37hp diesel generator is VERY diffierent than a 37hp gas generator , you can actually achieve the rated output continuously without lag.
