New cars are exempt for 6 years. Hybrids are currently exempt indefinitely, though at some point some testing procedure...

All of the options are simple! You seem to be taking the position that "x" is simple, but "100/x" is ungodly complicated. To me it's all absurdly simple. 4 miles per kwh, 100/4 = 25 kwhr per 100...

"complex calculus formula with multiple variables"????? It's pretty sad that simple arithmetic is equated with this. None of the options in the poll should be at all more difficult than the...

Countries like Canada use L per 100 km. We really should be doing the same, moving away from MPG and going to GPM or gallons per 100 miles. Read:

I don't think it stays on for 2 minutes. I think it stays on until you exceed some threshold speed, if I remember right, 5mph.

The parking sensors only go 4 feet forwards, they aren't meant for...

Disagree. The big MPG number is just kind of meaningless. Say you are one of those top 30 people on voltstats, you go around telling people "2000 MPG" and there's no way they can comprehend that. ...

The "lifetime fuel economy" of 335 is just the nonsensical division of total miles driven/total gallons gas, not counting electricity at all. It's somewhat meaningless except in terms of gasoline...

With the virtual one, you can pre-enter up to 5 destinations from your computer. It's a little faster to select one of these than giving an address to a live operator and waiting for them to type it...

The Kill-a-watt might not last long term, mine fried itself after a month.

The 120V charges at either 8 amps (default on 2013s), or 12 amps if you override it. So 120*12 = 1440W, so 1.44 kwh per...

At what average/max speed are you 50+ range guys driving? Is this with zero net elevation change?

I still haven't hit 50 after 18 months, though I haven't specifically set out to achieve it. My...

I don't think the USB can read anything other than flash drives & ipods. Go buy an $8 flash stick to put your music on?

"Low" in the Volt isn't actually a "gear" or a "downshift" like it would be in a conventional car. It's simply a remapping of how much regeneration occurs when you release the accelerator vs....

Easiest is sign up at forum member mrosack's excellent www.voltstats.net site. Then after it pulls data you'll be able to login and download spreadsheet with date, EV/total miles driven, gallons...

Oops, I guess this is model year dependent, possibly infotainment option dependent. On my 2012 (base radio) both the phone button on the ceiling and the one on the steering wheel work the same for...

If you use the mapquest to enter the destination(s), you have to call onstar to retrieve them. Hit the phone button on the steering wheel, and after the prompt say "virtual advisor". This will dial...

Might want to disconnect the 12-volt battery, or use one of the other methods from:

If you are already in this situation...

The numbers from Onstar (through myvolt.com, not available through voltstats.net), for me, are consistently a bit lower than what my Coulomb charge station reports through mychargepoint.net.

So...

It's in mrosack's FAQ. When Onstar forced the switch to the new API, it removed access to all those fields, all he gets is the gallonsburned and mileage data.

They ripped you off. All you need is the replacement sealant canister around $30-40 max. There's no "recharging"/refilling of the sealant going on, the canister containing the sealant slides off...

Your settings look normal, it ought to be charging midnight only, especially if you set it to off-peak only. Do you have different summer/winter settings programmed in or one schedule year around? ...
