Super Efficient Prius On the Way

A Toyota Prius that gets 95 mpg may be in easy view according to Treehugger, who tends to get a bead on such things. From Treehugger:
The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of Toyota's best-selling Prius hybrid, which is debuting in the U.S. next month and will be commercially available in 14 states this Spring (national rollout in 2013), was first supposed to be rated at around 87 MPG-equivalent. This alone would have been enough to put the plug-in Prius pretty high on the fuel-efficiency list, but after more testing, Toyota has revised its estimate and now says it is confident that the Prius PHEV will get 95 MPGe, which is 2 MPGe more than the Chevrolet Volt, which is rated at 93 MPGe.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Lightning Car Company is getting ready to debut their completely electric supercar. We certainly live in a time of great and exciting change! You can read more about that car here.
