Just to chime in with some more relevant driving for you guys who are looking at PHEVs.

I drove from Sherwood Park to South Edmonton common to do some shopping last week (33km - 25 min drive) and ended up averaging 4.8L/100km.

I thought it was pretty good, had the climate control at 20.5 and the car switched from EV to HEV (engine running) throughout the whole trip to keep the temp up inside as it was around -20 outside.

This will be pretty close to my daily commute when I get back to work and I'm happy with those numbers for the temperature outside. I am able to turn off the heat if I want and run EV only but for obvious reasons I don't haha.
