Actually, based on our nearly two years driving experience with a plug-in converted Prius with a small, 6kWh battery pack and EV range of around 15 miles, his numbers are pretty close to what we're seeing. My wife's commute of 11 miles typically exceeds the 99.9 MPG display on the Prius and readings directly through the CANBUS has demonstrated mpgs as high as 582 mpg equivalent using 4kWh of electricity. Our first year's overall fuel economy was just over 70 mpg.
