ThudnBlundr,What kind of scientific proof you may need? It is basic knowledge the ICE is more efficient on the highway than town, even more efficient when mechanically coupled with the wheels (which occur over the speed of 65km/h only) and electric propulsion is much more efficient in stop and go traffic compared to an ICE and when we include and losses from AC - DC conversions is getting even worse.Which of those statements you refute? If you agree with them no further proof is needed.Jpalfrey, exactly why I refrain to mention numbers. Consumption in our vehicles may vary significantly.If we are going to talk CHARGE vs. SAVE what is the understanding of the average Joe? Just because of the words a lot of folks think that they are saving during SAVE and spending because of CHARGING.Both modes are very similar SAVE is like intermittent CHARGE and suits most of the drivers cause it's press it and forget it.I prefer CHARGE on the highway when going further out of battery range, cause I have more control over battery SoC and prefer my ICE to start less frequently. And like usual aiming to arrive with empty battery.
