They keep talking about it, but it's just a gas car that uses the first 40 miles on an electric. A :LOT of hype, it will not go over well. By the time this American made can FINALLy hits the showroom, it will be yesterday's technology. Another American failure coming soon from Chevy. Volt.

The 1995 Geo Metro used to get 50mpg. I know, we had one. This is not some great leap forward but GM being dragged into the future by the market. If you really want to see new check out the VW Polo Blue and pray it comes to the US in 2010. This sucks.

That's still pretty good these days. Given the lower energy/gal of propane that's equivalent to paying $3.41/gal for gasoline. “Right now I can buy propane for $2.50 a gallon.”

It was travelling with a Saturn Vue, Pontiac Soltice, a Saturn SUV, and a Chevy Malibu. They all had Michigan plates. It has a lighting bolt emblem in the center of the grill. I was assuming that it is related to the Volt project. I hear there are plans to introduce electric over gas hybrids in all of those models. I was in a PowerStroke deisel so I obviously didn't hear any engine noise from any of the GM cars. I actually saw the car on the I-17 freeway in AZ, this week.
