    No problem getting 221wh/mile in a volt.

    Forget 57 miles@28.. how about 72.9 @32mph.
    See this thread.
    72.9 Miles on One Charge



    However the more important thing here is that start/stop is where the mass of the volt has more of an impact. I've not see a description of
    LurkAzusa' route but guessing it is a lot of start and stop. Expect the Pirus PHV will be more efficient in stop/go traffic as it has less to accelerate (and while regen helps its not 100%).


    Note it was not reported that it was 14.5 pure EV.. It could also have been blended.. my comment was just that an 19mpg increase is not that magical. Add 3kw of power at low speed and you can expect it.
