GM seriously got the hype machine working overtime when they found out that based on new DOE formulas, the 2011 Chevy Volt would be capable of 230 MPG. Now Nissan has played the same game with new DOE formulas and have come up with an MPG rating for their forthcoming electric vehicle the Nissan Leaf. The Leaf will apparently be capable of 367 MPG. While this MPG thing without any gas involved is a bit of head-scratcher, in all fairness Nissan didn’t hold a press conference about it, they just posted it on Twitter as a sort of rebuttal to the Chevy Volt announcement.

“Nissan Leaf = 367 mpg, no tailpipe, and no gas required. Oh yeah, and it’ll be affordable too!” Nissan Tweeted.

Nobody knows the details of what Nissan means by “affordable” yet, other than it’ll likely be significantly less than $45,000.

The Nissan Leaf EV is a four-door hatchback that seats five adults and has a 100-mile range. Recharging can be done at special commercial charging stations in 30 minutes or up to eight hours at a traditional plug.

The Nissan Leaf goes on sale in the U.S., Japan and Europe next year.
