unless it is part electric, the mpg will not get close to 235, and even then, if its electric, the mpg is a lie.

someone needs to convert the amount of KWHs pumped in when charging a hybrid. This can be used in an equation that gives the $/mile when running electric.
so if running electric costs were 500 KWH for a month
at $.02 per KWH, so that was $10 for the month.
If the car ran 400 miles on electric for the month
that would be
$ .025/mile,
then for $4.00/gal gas,
that would be 160 mpg.

and the car specs should call out mpg on gas
and mpKWH, with an estimated effective mpg based upon gas at $x.xx/gal and $x.xx/KWH.

either way, the greenies are a bunch of toads

how is a 1.0L gasoline car going to get better mileage than a 0.5L motorcycle? did it say electric

You did not read the link. The car does not use electricity, it is a .5 liter deisel. And to answer your last question, your motorcycle has the aerodynamics of a brick.
