Yeah, they say it gets between 50 and 100% better gas milage, but are those "savings" spent at the electrical outlet?

Depending on the efficiency of the implementation I'm sure (as well whether or not this is a valid study at all), but it seems that electric cars are able to do it significantly cheaper than gas. So those savings are probably not spend at the electrical outlet.
