Final Results on our Test Commute with the Company Volt

I'm impressed, my Chevy Volt test commute this week from Monday to Friday has forever changed my thinking about our dependency on foreign oil...I drove a total of 174.7 miles during my commute, due to depleting the battery only one time I used 0.3 gallons of gas, that's right, less than a third of a gallon.  That makes my gas mileage for the week 582 miles per gallon!  The one day that I depleted the battery I drove 42 miles on electric alone, I then drove another 12 miles and used about 0.3 gallons (it was actually slightly less but the system rounds up).  Even paying for the extra electricity to charge the car you're only talking about a few bucks to "fill it up", additionally having the gas engine, you can still drive to Disney if you want and still get around 40 to 50 miles per gallon.  The market still seems like it's in the early stages of these types of cars but with these kinds of stats it's very hard to overlook them.  We will definitely be running some numbers in the very near future.
