That’s all good and fine....but does it still cost more to run the thing than a gas engine?

That's the neat thing about the series hybrid is the combustion engine can be "tuned" to run in it's most efficient state. As opposed to the high and low revving that a normal engine has to contend with.

A turbine done right could be amazingly efficient.
