You are very slow. As the name implies, "hybrid". Full EV in cities
and when you go long distance occasionally the car runs on the genny
and still gets 60mpg.

And I can get 70mpg on a run in a number of small cars

The Ampera is NOT small. Again dumbo, it runs on zero emissions in the
city where we do not need harmful, toxic emissions. For the long range

So what harmful toxic emissions come out of conventional modern cars then?

in the country the IC genny cuts in running at a more efficient constant
speed.

Possibly helps make up for all the extra weight they are carrying and
the extra beneficences of the multiple conversions required.

Daft idea... build the nukes, then use the electricity to make synthetic
liquid fuel. Anything else is just ****ing in the wind.
