Paul,
There's voodoo economics and now I'm a believer in voodoo mpg.

Chevy says the Volt gets 230 mpg city.
Let's see:  it will go 40 miles on pure electric.
It has a 10 gal. fuel tank.
The overall range is more than 300 miles.
Let's give it the benefit of the doubt here and say it will go 300 on
its gasoline, which is 30 mpg.
So add the 300 gas miles and the 40 electric miles and you get a total
of 340 miles  If you divide 340 by the 10 gal of gas do you get 34 mpg
or 230?

The real question is how many miles per bucket full of coal?
No pollution in my back yard.

The other thing about it is once the batteries are dead
after traveling 40 miles you then have a 100 HP piston engine
in a 3500 pounds car. Talk about a slug. That should kill sales
in a milli microsecond when that becomes common knowledge.

I can't believe how stupid the Government thinks I am.
Maybe it it just who THEY hang out with :)
