In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized. In addition, the second car will likely be a conventional car burning more fuel and creating more CO 2 per distance traveled than a long range PHEV because of the greatly downsized and more efficient engine in the PHEV.
