I did not see any actual statistic's in that article. I feel I am getting great mileage with my car and when the ice is not on there is no emissions being displaced in the environment.

If owners aren’t trained to charge their vehicles regularly the weight of additional battery makes the mileage on the PHEV worse than a reg Hybrid.

Not much of an article and very few details about the testing.

I bought My PHEV as I got the Canadian Government $2500 incentive which made the PHEV only $2000 more than the HEV. I keep my vehicles for along time and with the price of gas going up and up (in Edmonton, Alberta it just went to $1.36/litre) I know I am going to make that $2000 back in gas savings.

Yes in -28 celcius the engine runs more than using the batteries but it has to heat the cabin some way.

I am very happy with my purchase.

With every vehicle there are "wish it would have" or "wish it didn't do this or that" but every vehicle is like that.

Interesting but can’t generalize from that research. For mostly local short trips it is highly more efficient. Works great for us!

Understood and have similar mindset as well however for me the only other deterrent would be that this is it’s1st year of production and maybe Hyundai hasn’t figured out the bugs and kinks. I might have to wait for the next model year. Sure gas prices have crept up and may even go up further but gas is the cheapest maintenance and spending thousands of $$$ just to trade up in order to save on gas won’t be the wisest move for me at this time - the cheapest car is the current one I drive

Belgium researches proved that obesity leads to lower fuel economy and excessive brakes wear .

Sure, but who is buying one and not plugging it in? You have to try to get a PHEV
