While back there were some post about the Chevy Volt and an article in our locak paper tells a different story. A local person I know who is a number cruncher say's his Volt averages 120 MPG. When he charges the battery his cost figures were $15 to $20. Drving only on gas he gets 45mpg. Said he would recomend the car to anyone. Sure the other Hybrids are cheaper but the Volts mpg is higher by 15mpg. Plus the Fed's are giving a tax break for the Volt of $7500. The catching fire problem due to not following directions in case of an accident. If I was in the market for a new car I'd certainly look at this option. But more than likely I'd buy another Impala. Love the one we have now. Just sharing info
