There is quite a long thread on this subject. But no conclusion why it is lower.

I read that thread when I was wondering the same thing and was a little annoyed that there isn't a clear answer. However, at the end of the day and maybe like a number of others, I really only bought the 45e model this year for the tax credit. Getting great gas mileage and having that extra electric torque is just an added bonus.
