50MPG takes into account the availability of batteries to store charges from regenerative breaking and such. The Volt genset may also shut off when electric demand is low or non-existent, and rely on the remaining low charge to supply power to low-drain devices. In any event, “50MPG” is the best case scenario, as is “40-mile all-electric-range”.
