on the IC engine ... !

It also recharges the batteries via the brakes and the engine, and when
enough juice it them moves on the electric motor. So you did make it up.

and petrol ~£1 / l you would have thought we'd be knee deep in

A waiting list for them.

They showed you this list did they ..

Yep some do 65mpg

Do Google on this group on Auto Express and Prius.
