My name is Brian, and I used 6/10s of a gallon of gas today.... I feel like I need to make a confession or join a support group of something after using barely over a 1/2 gallon of gas today!!! We drove for more than 300 miles without using a drop of gas since getting the volt over a week ago, but today we had to go to a different work location, then to our regular office, back home, and then I had to drive to Lillington and we could only charge for about 1 hour on a slow 120v outlet, so I had to use some gas, we drove a total of 75+ miles today and used 0.66 gallons after depleting the battery. As for the car running on gas engine it definitely switches from electric to gas with very little notice other than a little engine noise, the performance is still good and stable as when running on battery, it also switches back and forth from gas to battery as it regenerates the battery.
We're still on target for our personal goals of our weekly work commuting to be totally electric and the overall gas mileage to be better than 100 MPG for the life of the car, so we're still on target after 1 week (lol) even though I had to use a little gas.
