You 18 gals to use with say about 60 mpg then you have a great car for everyone and GM comes alive again.

At 230mpg, that places the fuel capacity at under 2 gallons. Store a 3 gallon gas can from Walmart in the trunk, and you've got 1000 mile range. Looks like the range is now 300 miles.

Try driving across Texas with that much gas where at times gas stations are few and far between. I have been following the Volt information since they first annouonced the concept and I am a little disappointed that the gas tank keeps getting smaller. I think 8 to 10 gallons would be good, and I can see how 12 may be too many but the miniscual 6 is too little. But not everyone lives in the east!

Is GM limiting the Volt to a $40000 city car? 640 mile range is the only choice. If they need a smaller tank, at least make it 10 gallons. Range matters.

I only drive 32 or so miles a day, my wife about 10. Gas, CNG, propane, E85 all don't matter since this will be ALL ELECTRIC miles. I'll probably keep 2 gallons in the tank to save the weight. My ICE and generator will be brand new when the rest of the Volt is wore out! When going on trips, I need my pickup because of trailer and other heavy junk going along. No small/medium car can do this, including Volt. I need 2 Volts please :) Can you imagine the total coolness of a two-car garage with a pair of matching his/hers Volts?! It blows my mind! License plates: HIS-VOLT and HER-VOLT. Hehe. Oh, and when you get to it GM, an electric Silverado would do nicely as well. The total range doesn’t matter to me.
