How bout this Rob?

Proven mileage of 2litres/100km

I have bad automotive wood for this car.

Ron S, in a diesel elecric hybrid, would not the returns be too small to 
justify the added costs?
A diesel can be VERY efficient, but wouldn't the electrical losses add 
up faster than the mechanical losses in a straight mechanical drive 
diesel?   I know there is a net benefit in a gasser, mostly because the 
gasser is inherently shitty in terms of efficiency to start with.
