100 mpg plug-in hybrids NOW?

Felix Kramer leads a protest across the street from the LA Auto Show

A number of protesters huddled around a Toyota Prius as it was converted into a plug-in hybrid vehicle today just outside the LA Auto Show. Felix Kramer and his CalCars.Org participated in the protest, as did several other plug-in hybrid-focused groups.

Essentially, these protesters claim that automakers have the technology and the ability to start making 100 mpg plug-in hybrid vehicles today. As proof they are converting conventional hybrids into plug-in hybrids.

So, are they right? Are automakers dragging their feet? I'll be posting more pictures and addressing these issues in a later post.
