    I've been having trouble accessing the Volt page on chevrolet.com, the past few days it's been giving me this:

    ''WE ARE SORRY, THE PAGE YOU ARE REQUESTING IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.
    Please try again later.''

    Is it working for you? Maybe they are updating it for the 2013's =)

    And I personally find the rate at which the numbers are ticking up a little hard to believe. Several miles a second, every second? I sure hope that someone checks and double checks that number before Chevy starts heavily promoting it.

    I really need a hobby...

    99,099,500 10:53:23p
    99,100,000 10:54:16p

    So 1000mi ~ 1.5m. 900,000 mi to go = 1,350m = 22.5h until 100,000,000 @ current rate.

    The actual number must be much higher! As this is only the vehicles having OnStar, which means no Volts in Europe are counted, mine for sure is not. And if you think about the Ampera, there should also be many kilometers added for those too.

    I was one of the people that were having difficulties getting through to the 'Locate a Vehicle' tab. It was still there but you used to have to hit the locate the vehicle link then hit the 'cars' link at the bottom, but there is still no info on 2013 Volts and the info on 2012 Volts hasn't changed for a week, so either no Volts have been sold in 90210 and 22207 zip codes for the past 7 days or GM is not updating their info.
    I am looking forward to hearing about the 2013 line pumping out the Volteras in record numbers, and soon!

    As per footnote 5 on http://www.chevrolet.com/volt-electric-car/ :

    To find out the fuel saved we need to calculate the miles per gallon; Miles per gallon =[Difference in Total Miles Driven in kms (current-previous) * 0.621/ Difference in lifetime fuel used *0.264]. Fuel Avoided = (Difference in Total Miles/ Official MPG for US passenger cars) — (difference in Total Miles/ Miles per gallon).

    All internal Volt data seems to be done in metric (Km, liter) and converted in miles & us gallons for display purpose. So, the total distance driven is much higher, if displays in Km (miles x1.62). As you mentioned, only for those Voltec cars having access to Onstar are accounted.

    1 km = 0.621 mi
    1 Liter = 0.264 us gal
