One of our geezeeky friends sent us this Flickr-posted mileage documentation from a Toyota Prius converted to plug-in operation. Looks like someone's kids won't be getting their Mobil Upromise points this month.

The plug-in hybrid electric conversion was done by Energy CS for PG&E. The finger is pointing out that on the last trip (about 40 miles) the vehicle was getting an average 76.1 MPG!
