I believe BMW's i3 REX is like that.

The 2.4 gallon tank gives an extra 66 miles of range, so 27.5 mpg. That doesn't sound so great. -- Drew |

My 20 year old accord gets better mileage than that

Number salad
For some reason, the US model only uses 1.9 gal out of that 2,4 gal tank, so the fuel mileage is a bit better than it appears. The EPA has it at 39 mpg. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=35207&id=36016&id=35279&id=36030 |

That must be the thing I see on the freeway now and then . . .
. . that looks just like a miniature Pontiac Aztek. When I see one I think, "What were they thinking?". |

That sounds about right.
The i3 is a modern "city car", which means short and round and tall but probably very manoeuvrable. BMW have been trying to drum up support here in Oz as it's the same price the Tesla Model 3 is expected to be. However it has the half the range and two thirds the size. Wade. |
