I can definitely say that my gas-powered SUV got 19mpg at 55mph for long distance. (Several hours on a rural highway in Wisconsin, using cruise control) It normally gets between 12 and 16 mpg driving around highway and city.

The comparison is unfair unless you take into account the amount of braking done when driving slowly.
