As I understand it, you are driving a 250 bhp car. The electric motor kicks in whenever needed and because of its' instant torque has better acceleration when you go for it. In steady state cruising above some set speed (which is about 45 mph, I think), it's only the gas motor and the electric part is acting like a hybrid ie: recharging on throttle lifts and braking. Hence, the very high MPG rating.
