They improve your MPG significantly.  

...the gasoline generators can extend the range of the battery vehicle but it cannot increase the "gas mileage" because converting gasoline into electricity will suffer the effects of the conversion process.

They ain't no free lunch!

agree with ya on electric cars. I am looking at the basic, first concept and proven HYBRID vehicles that simply used a generator and battery to store produced energy as you also bought gasoline and your engine ran off it with an assist.

Remember the Prius from Toyota? Ya could get a Prius 5 and it was a hybrid. My daughter had one. It ran on both gasoline and battery stored energy it got from a generator that kept it charged.. They still make those today and make the most sense of any of them.

They improve your MPG significantly. For example, a mid sized sedan would go from 23 mpg around city to 37 MPG.

So I was thinking that these are actually affordable cars with enhanced fuel economy using a simple system that ya don't need charging stations and the car can run on gasoline as well. The hybrid simply assists the fuel efficiency of the gasoline powered engine by providing some power to the drivetrain...

To me, its the best alternative to excessively high gas prices. Another thing about hybrid cars is that they are more powerful than regular gasoline counterparts. Much more horsepower. Much better fuel economy..

NOT an electric only plug in vehicle..
