The body style is more convenient for my growing family and most of my driving is less than 10 miles. I have a very low commute but I'm too lazy to ride a bicycle.

My only concern is that numbers like 2050 MPG are deceptive. Most people just wont believe it. Others will find out that you're just trading electricity for gas, and be disappointed. Either way, it doesn't help. Let's just say the car gets 50 MPG in gas mode. I would rather see the following output: - average cents per mile for trip - cents per mile in gas mode - cents per mile in electric mode - cents per gallon equivelent in electric mode. - average cents per gallon equivelent for the trip Hope this helps, Dave.

I have it saved as a .xls file and also as a .html file.

Tell me more about the program. Is it just something to download or is it database driven? Php? Would be best to put it here but I have a website and if you want we can put it up there.
