Also, it says that you can go 40 miles on strait electric so that would mean there is no MPG becuase there are no gallons being used. The 230 mpg has to be total
I honestly don't think it will get that much lower. They will probably sell a decent amount to people that have money to burn and think being 'green' is so hot right now. Look at when the Prius first came out. They were selling them over sticker and still had waiting lists.

And yeah if you go less than 40 miles and then recharge the thing it won't use any gas. Its only when the battery dies that it kicks over to conventional power.
