I mean, ok so I get crap mileage in my 335i because now I work at home and largely just run the kids to school and go to the grocery store, but still I'm getting 150+ to a tank. With a 17mi range I wouldn't even want to get on the freeway.
The beauty of the 330e is you can cruise pretty much unlimited on the HWY with good MPG, and cover much of your city driving (where gas MPG is horrible) on battery. On my 335i BMWs in town I was lucky to get 14mpg. So the city driving efficiency on BATT and hybrid drive would be huge.
