If you look at the use of Ethanol, we burn more fuel to make Ethanol that we do in our fuel mixtures. Where is the Green or good for the environment in that? Howmuch will it cost per Kwh to run this car? Who would you rather pay, the electric company or the oil company? The only way to be truly grean is to use green diesel produced from non-food crops and synthetic materials. Are you telling me with today's technology, we can not make a synthetic material that can be burned our engines? C'mon man, wake up.....

It isn't that hard to understand where the range of mpg's that ER mode will fall within unless one refuses to believe GM will use an efficiency optimized ICE cycle. Stas & MuddyRoverRob

I think the doubters of this are in the last throws of resistance on this issue. It isn’t that hard to understand where the range of mpg’s that ER mode will fall within unless one refuses to believe GM will use an efficiency optimized ICE cycle.
