Volt's Real World Numbers: Miles and Gasoline Burned

[ClarksonCote]

Okay, people have asked about it, and I'd like to start a thread that captures this real world information.

My thoughts: Each person who owns a Volt creates one Post in this thread, and updates it as needed (monthly?) to reflect their current efficiency data.

Format:
EV Miles Driven:
Total Miles Driven:
Estimated Gallons of Fuel Saved:
Total Miles per gallon of gasoline (MPGG):
Information Last Updated:

All this data is reported by OnStar I think, and this will be a great thread to show people just how little fuel the Volt uses in real world conditions.

Just got my first Onstar report for my Red Volt. Unfortunately the information is blank (I assume because the car is new). The report Energy Efficiency section which lists Fuel Economy, electric consumption, etc. I have yet to receive my February Onstar report for my Black volt (should have been sent 2/8/11).

Has anyone got a Onstar report that fills in the Energy Efficiency data ?

[ClarksonCote]

Here's my initial OnStar data, though it's heavy on the CS miles due to my trip out to get the car. I'll try to update/edit this post each month.

EV Miles Driven: 481
Total Miles Driven: 1379
Estimated Gallons of Fuel Saved: 24
Total Miles per gallon of gasoline (MPGG): 47

I wonder what's the best MPG rating to date. I'll be able to charge at home and work and so even though I don't hypermile I expect to be in the top 10 percent once I get mine in several weeks. Thus, it would be interesting to see what type of real world MPG people are getting and I'm glad this community is going to share the data.

While I think it's great we're using less octane, efficient use of electrons is also relevant. Add total watt/mile or total kWh used as well. Energy efficiency is going to be different depending on climate and use style.

I'll probably create some website that's dedicated to tracking Volt efficiency with a lot of numbers to roll up. It's probably easier than trying to do it in thread format, but I'd like to keep all the information at gm-volt.com if at all possible. It just seems easier than having to remember multiple websites.

I like the idea of being able to roll up collective information including Watt-hours/mile

NOTE: As of about 5 days ago, we also have the LEAF !!! We have about 200 miles on the LEAF.
