Looks like the distance on battery keeps going down. My Camry with a pretty potent V-6 gets 23-25 locally and 30 on the highway (at 72 mph - up to 33 at 60 mph and as little as 26 if I keep it a tad above 80 on those long dark Alabama stretches between population centers). I only have to "plug it in" to a gas pump for 6 minutes a week (350-450 miles depending on type of driving) and it cost under $29K without a government subsidy.
I have a small Toyota Camry I bought for $1,500 3 years ago
Runs great, gets about 40 MPG on the Thruway.
I will drive it until it melts into a pile of rust, which will NOT be anytime soon, as far as I can tell.
