You may want to consider that some people, (me for instance), are interested in the performance aspects of electric drive, and would have their engines running almost all the time charging the battery for the next big power boost. These people would need a large tank. We would also need a performance mode for the electric drive software.

Personally, I will be using the ICE every day … as my commute to work is 75 miles one way … (Yes, i drive 750 miles a week just getting to/from work). The Volt however, as I see it fitting into my plan eliminates a vast majority of my weekend fuel requirements. (Town is only about 12 miles away). I figure if I am getting 40 miles on EV (for about 80 cents), and outstanding MPG beyond that … and the same thing on the way home, it literally would save me 150+ dollars a week. I would like to see them offer both a standard 7 galon tank, and an optional (Extended Range) tank for a fair price.

I totally understand. I am on pins and needles waiting. I just hate to wait another two and half years, or maybe longer, depending on the roll out schedule GM decides on.

I totally agree with you about govt intervention is almost anything, which is why it was SO difficult for me to mention it. I see my lapse as a clear indicator of how desperate I am to get my butt into a VOLT.

Asking the government to pay for anything is asking us all to do it. The government doesn’t have any money except that taken from us.

I agree about the version 2.0 of the Volt. GM will “improve” the Volt as each year progresses. I am just ready for it now.
