As a vicious corporate chieftain once said, "If you are not #1 or #2 in a business, either fix it or get out of the business." Does that apply to sub-markets in the automotive sector as well?

http://wot.motortrend.com/2013-ford-c-max-energy-plug-in-hybrid-rated-at-108-mpge-274389.html
The EPA rating of 100 mpge combined means the 2013 Ford C-Max Energi is more energy efficient than most other plug-in hybrids on the market. The Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid manages 95 MPGe combined, the Chevrolet Volt manages 94 MPGe, the Fisker Karma achieves only 54 MPGe in EPA testing, and Honda predicts its 2014 Accord plug-in hybrid will return at least 100 MPGe. In addition, Ford says its C-Max Energi will return 108 MPGe in city driving, and will have an overall driving range of 550 miles on a fully charged battery and full tank of gasoline.

Those MPGe are a joke.... what happens on the SECOND tank of gas? I'll bet you the mileage will SUCK because by then you'll be carrying a big ass empty brick of batteries.
You see, you can't take San Onofre with you.

Depends on whether one's regular routine has time to recharge... If you have time to recharge in the evening (as my Tesla friend does) at low rates, its quite good!

(1) Your Tesla friend is rich, yet I had to subsidize his luxo car.
(2) One tank car readings are bogus. Particularly HIGHWAY reading. MPGe should be a city only number.
