80 mpg is great, but plugging your car into the wall is not. I still remember on the old John LaRoquette Show that John's character had an electric car that had to be plugged in. It cost too much to charge it at home, so he bought a long extension cord to plug it in at the bus terminal where he worked. <G> A very funny show, but way too far ahead of its time. Or too smart for the public. Or, I have lousy taste. Take your pick.

250 Miles Per Gallon is Incorrect. You need to account for the electrical consumption and the number of gallons of gasoline (or equivalent) it takes to create that electrical energy, transport it and use it to charge the batteries. That said, let me add that hybrid vehicles are the most sensible near term approach in dealing with efficiency and emission issues.
