model in 2001 by the DOEs Argonne National Lab estimates hybrids reduce greenhouse gases by 22%, and plug-in hybrids by 36% (see table 2). If we optimistically assume the average US fuel economy is 25 miles per gallon, at $3.00 A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study ).
