Of course these numbers will fall into suspicion immediately because of the Consumer Reports tests had very different results than the official mileage on the normal Ford hybrids. Of course the car costs almost 40K and it has a battery only range of only 20 miles. I wonder how long it takes to fully recharge the batteries.

I saw a car at the L.A. auto show with similar claims (BMW? not sure who made it).

20 mile range at 150 mph (no shit). The 20 mile range is still the sticking point, right?
