    It's impossible to determine the gallons from the estimate miles (unless you know the MPG estimate, which varies based on many factors).

    The gas tank holds 9.3g (35.2L) of gas. So if you have...

    I see nobody has addressed this.

    There is no need to worry. What would be the absolute worst-case situation there could be? The dealer claiming this, and you needing a warranty repair, and them...

    FWIW, I'm guessing the codes he is talking about are the trouble codes (a/k/a check engine).

    Pretty close. They said "It’s so slow, you’ll have plenty of time to regret leasing this tiny and impractical thing".

    FYI, this article suggests that the "$10K rebate" for the i EV (~60 mile EPA range) is really just aggressive pricing by dealers, so you may (or may not) be able to find it. But they apparently did...

    You probably bought yours after they gave out all the packages. They made an original batch for 2011s (with a Flip-Cam), then later (after most 2011s were sold, I believe) made another batch without...

    That sounds like the "Smart Grid" stuff that OnStar is thinking about doing. Although much of that press release is nonsense (OnStar isn't trying to get companies to work with them), it sounds like...

    Let's not say never. :)

    When I bought mine in June, 2012, he quoted me $890 for a 60/60/$0 ($810 for a 60/60/$100). insider-car-buying-tips.com (Bradley Chevrolet) was $765 for 60/60/$0, $685...

    I agree.

    In the 2011s and 2012s, there is a place in the software where it says "If the battery level is less than [INITIAL_LOW_BATTERY_THRESHOLD], set the mode to charge sustaining" (perhaps by...

    It wasn't because I expect GM to lie. It's because there is no wording to go with; I haven't seen anything that states exactly what GM said. For example, there is a big difference between "We...

    I did, just before reading your post. And, unlike GMs answer, his makes sense.

    It would be nice to see a more concrete answer from GM (not that I expect that they would, I'm just saying that it...

    I agree. I cannot see any reason why a hold mode could not be put in a 2011/2012 without hardware. Give me access to the Volt source code (including the 2013 hold mode code), and I can nearly...

    Just as a reminder, this appears to only be necessary if the 12V battery is disconnected (and the engine hasn't run sufficiently since then). So this is an uncommon situation.

    MA HD 1174, if passed, would force the state to do research on things like EV impact on the electric grid.

    FYI, on 2011s the factory spec is 35psi. However, it is widely believed that the change was based on "re-thinking it" rather than a chance to the car (e.g. that if there were a way to, they would...

    FYI, as far as UV goes, I believe windshield glass blocks most UV rays. A study done 10 years ago showed that with windows closed, a driver only gets about 3-4% of ambient radiation (versus over 60%...

    From what I have read here, GM is required (by law) to have the tones at a specific volume level.

    For me, rather than changing the volume (too loud for me), I would hook it up to the GPS to let...

    AFAIK, GM doesn't have such a list.

    A product that either makes requests for known PIDs (such as DashDaq) or passively listens to what is being sent on OBD2 shouldn't cause any problems. The only...
