    Default Highest Total Range? (Electric + Fuel)

    Just curious as to what the maximum Total Range (Electric + Fuel) you have seen on your VOLT? My personal experience has been 402 and 408 miles.

    Now, unlike a conventional car there are fewer opportunities to observe a maximum range since with the VOLT one does not "fill-up" the fuel tank on a regular basis as in a conventional car. In my case I have only "filled-up" less than 10 times in its life. I usually drive with less than 2 gallons anymore, often more like less than 1-1/2 gallons. But on occasion I have filled up as in during a cross state trip.

    I currently have about 8,600 miles on my VOLT. Just adding that for the non-VOLT owner so they get an idea of how few "fill-ups" we really have.

    Very impressive milliage, did you carry a spare gas can with you for when you ran out of both?

    I have not tried to go much past low fuel, but I went about 350 miles when I bought my Volt in New York befor stopping for gas.

    I'm still working on the tank of gas I got from the dealer! I think you need a road trip, a long road trip, in order to get a good idea of total range. Plus as suggested I generally don't let the gas tank run down to empty even on long road trips.
