Plug-in Hybrid for a F-150

41 MPG from a Ford F-150. Thought this link was interesting.

Interesting, however if I was going to spend that kind of money $60K I would more likely be interested in doing like this for a bit more $$$.

It doesn't get 41 mpg, it gets 21 mpg. That's not much of an increase for that kind of money. 41 is a made-up number based on their chosen parameters. If I manipulate the numbers the way they did, I can show it getting infinity mpg.
