How I understand it, is that at current electric charges it costs $ 7.00 to $12.00 a week in Electric, charging the car every day. Driving 40 miles per day you won't need Gas. $12.00 will buy you about 3.5 gallons of gas. If you use one of the most efficient cars, you should get 35 to 40 mpg on the high side this would be 140 miles. The GM VOLT on charge only "NO GAS "should get around 280 miles. When you do the math, it's double what you get with gas. That’s $12.00Have you noticed gas prices aren't getting cheaper either. The 640 miles they show you are based on charging the car once and utilizing the gas in the 12 gallon gas tank to keep driving while the small motor uses its power to recharge the batteries.An end result of around 50 miles per gallon after your 40 miles from 1 electric charge up. This sounds impressive to me. GM should be talking about the low cost of going 280 miles a week with no fuel costing about$12.00.If they promoted the car like thispeople would be jumping in line with me to get one.

It looks sleeker than my '96 Nissan 240SX and that's no small feat. When they finally start having serious marketing campaignes for the car, the first three or so commercials should have the song "Remedy" by the Black Crowes jamming in the background. It is the perfect theme song for this car and all Gen-Xers love the Black Crowes. The Volt IS the Remedy, get it? Listen to the song, you'll understand!
