They are saying it gets 261 miles for one gallon of gas plus some unstated electricity. They are counting the electricity as free. It's a completely bogus metric. I see a lot of Chevy Volt owners claim they get 400 MPG when they run on electricity 90% of the time.
- veemjeem 14y agoMaybe they need a new measurement like GP100M (gallons used per 100 miles). So for the tesla, that number would be zero, but for the Volt it would be something like 1.7 (first 40 miles is zero, but last 60 would be at 35mpg).
- coin 14y agoThe electricity needs to be factored in, it's not free.
- Shorel 14y agoYeah, I drive a moped, and I get something like 95 MPG. But a moped has a low top speed, and weights nothing compared to a car. It's impossible for something that heavy to have better mileage than a moped.
