Thanks for the reminder.

I have been keeping a log of what is done and a reason for the drive to the property. My real estate is independent of my daily job / commute (I take the bus). But, I...

I just started a real estate business and my property is about 20 miles away; this appears to work for me.

Can someone correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that at about $0.50/mile a full...

For me, a full 13kw charge costs me a little less than $1.25 (at $0.095/kwh). However, I only drive about 15 miles a day, and that only uses up less than 3kw. Note, electricity is lost a little to...

Republican here. I think with the high cost to purchase a Volt, it may be something for people in higher tax brackets. Either Republican or Democrats, but Republican policies seems to favor those...

MOD's, can someone take care of this.

It looks like a one-post-poser....

The IRS website says $7,500. Dunno what you were doing with the 1 HR with IRS, maybe you should have taken 5 minutes...

I have to agree with the OP here. However, I think there are 2 key things left out: Volt rebates of about $7,500 - 10,000 in the US, and +$120/year oil changes for the Prius (assuming $30 oil...

I wonder what the trade-in value of a Volt would be for a Cadillac ELR? Plus, I wonder if you can take the $7500. federal rebate afterwards--which I don't know why not.

oh, +1 for more efficient...

I think weather also plays a role. I haven't used gas in the last 2 months, but my gas range seems to move from 148-152. I usually from the cooler morning compared the warmer evenings.

I am not...

I used 13 gallons in the last 6 months...But, I had 180 mile drive to Austin for a wedding and used up 10 gallons for just that weekend.

Man, I felt odd at the gas station. Looking around like...

I've been trying to explain that I get about 140 miles for $3.50. That seems a little more tangible. Then, I point out that I only use 10 gallons of gasoline in the last 3000 miles that I have...

Definately related to weather. I just lost 5 miles from a outdoor change to 50 degrees. I can only imaging what you guys are dealing with.

I use to get 46-48 miles, after running the car for 5...

This is an odd post.

I got my Volt from Stingray and drove it home to Texas. I bought (not leased), and I believe I got a great 0% deal with 0% hassels. Charles@Stingray was great to work...

MM really is not much of a difference than Normal mode until your electric miles hit below 16 miles. After that, any extra work that the ICE makes in electricity and stores it will lower your MPG. ...

I am still one of the lucky ones to have a Blockbuster movie shop within 5 miles of the house. For years, I go there and not really thinking on how much gasoline adds to each movie rental.

In my...

Actually, the cost savings from fuel has a higher ROI than for me than to install solar--being in Houston, TX. (at about 5%)

Also, after the federal tax credit, my volt will cost me out of pocket...

Nice....

I think you will be fine with the battery, and $9500 off MSRP plus the $7500 credit is a great price. The battery is still covered under the warranty, and I believe the date of the...

I think this fall weather is the perfect time to play with the max miles. I noticed that at 60-65 degrees outside in the day, it is the perfect temperature to keep me comfortable with just fan-only...

I think I am part of the problem too. I just got zipped past by a fellow Volt the other day that was going 2x as me.

It is part of the sickness of gas-anxiety. Like some others, if I know that I...

hahah! Man, that would be tough work to earn the extra 2 miles--seems a bit easier to go downhill a mountain.

That is definately a Volt addict there.

Haha..I knew someone would say that.

But, yeah, my roundtrip was only 45 miles, so when I got home, I just charged her up. Later that day, I ran to video store and a couple of errands. When I...
