You can honestly drive yourself crazy with range stuff. I think plug-in hybrids are a smart move right now, especially if most of your average driving is commuting to the office with occasional longer trips.
My unsolicited advice is not to pay much attention to the range. Drive it and enjoy it... punch it occasionally or all the time if that is what you like.

Being new to hybrids/EVs of any sort, it has taken me 6 months or so to get to this point. I now know for certain that I can do my daily chores on electric only, no matter what the reading shows, and if for some reason I run out of juice, the machine will just flip into hybrid.
And I d love driving the car, esp in electric mode. It is so quiet and smooth. The ICE loaner the dealer gave me felt archaic. YMMV
