No change on the demand side due to the production redesign in my view. My Bumper Sticker: Chevy Volt, American made, American FUELED. I spend $5,000 per year in gas here in Denver. Looking forward to the change for me and for America. Still nicely designed. No change on the demand side due to the production redesign in my view.

If you get right up behind a semi on the Interstate, it is worth about 10%. Unfortunately, I have learned too much about diesel exhaust, so I can't stand to do it any more. It says something about the aero issues with the Volt though. We are towing 2 cars, which we have fought down to about 2500# each. We have an aluminum open trailer, but it still has to weigh pretty close to 2000#. With all of our gear, we are carrying probably 10,000# all up. The thing has the Cd and the frontal area of a barn door. Hello 9.5 mpg. All of these things are the arch enemies of the Volt. I thought that modern EFI and the 5 speed Allison would do something for the mileage, vs the old 454 with the carburetor. Alas, the laws of physics have no mercy, and the mileage is only marginally better, at best. #159 Grizzly:
