We had the chance to compare mpg of non plug-in Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt during the same trip of 100 miles. Both car are really fuel efficient especially when we drive slow. It takes more than 100 miles to beat the volt on fuel efficiency and total energy including electricity... We began the trip at about 50 mph and ended it in the city at about 40 mph. Our average speed including traffic lights and stops was 32 mph. See the video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTop5OQwRyQ
I would be curious to do the same comparison at a steady 60 or 75 mph. According to our weekly 100 miles trip, at 50 to 60 mph it should be around 75 mpg with the Volt and 55 mpg with the Prius. I did not tried a lot 75 mph with the Volt...
