The purpose of the Volt is to not use any fuel at all while for your daily driving while not being constrained by the range of the battery. People are routinely achieving 50 miles of pure electric range and I expect to see even more impressive combined fuel economy from hypermillers.<br /><br />But go ahead and keep listening to the filth of Rush and Glen Beck, it'll keep you ignorant which is where I'm sure you want to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
