    With the larger battery, what is the Prime's HV mpg? I haven't noticed it yet.

    But the Gen 3 battery isn't as heavy. Anything in writing?
    The heavy battery is why the Volt has such a low mpg.

    that's why they took out the middle seat, carved some weight out of the chassis.

    Yes, but it still is 300 pounds heavier then the 4th gen Prius...

    So, what is the trick?
