"Over 100 mpg"

This is the caption of a Prius photo: The right side car is a Prius + converted by CalCars with a fuel economy of over 100 miles per gallon.

That is nonsense. The car got about 45-55 mpg on gasoline and it probably got abotu 3.5-4.5 mi/kWh (maybe 130 mpgE) on electricity. They obviously do not count the electricity, so I guess my Leaf got "over 100004300004329534850436805695 mpg." 95.49.91.137 (talk) 18:48, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

See miles per gallon equivalent.--Mariordo (talk) 19:03, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for the very late response, but as one of the people who built and advised others who build these early Prius PHEV Conversions. I can say they they very well did get over 100 MPGe efficiency, and your Leaf also did in fact get 114MPGe. So I'm not sure where exactly a claim of "one hundred octillion four septillion three hundred sextillion four quintillion three hundred twenty-nine quadrillion five hundred thirty-four trillion eight hundred fifty billion four hundred thirty-six million eight hundred five thousand six hundred ninety-five" is coming from. Please forgive me for not being able to resist replying to this nonsensical comment even though that caption and photo appear to no longer be present in the article... --D0li0 (talk) 02:50, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Old references and wrong data

Even though this article has tons of good references, it is easy to point out that some of them are clearly outdated and need update. For instance, there are references to things that will happen by 2015 or that are expected to happen in 2022. These are, of course, studies that were trying to predict the future, but given that this future is already in the past, it would be very useful to see what actually happened in these cases.

Also, the paragraph stating that Nederlands was the first country where PHEV cars appeared at the top of the most sold cars in a month is confusing. In the same paragraph it is said that Nederlands was the second country where this happened, after Norway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laggarcia (talk • contribs) 01:54, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

As an author of this article from over a decade ago, I appreciate the appreciation for old details and that they could benefit from some updates. I completely concur with your observations and wish I could commit more firmly to helping with such edits, perhaps with enough noise of edits I will find myself unable to resist returning to contribute once again. Sigh. --D0li0 (talk) 02:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
