Let’s see. I can buy a car that gets 20 mpg for $25,000 or I can spen $40,000 for 230 mpg. The way I figure, if gas is around $2.50 gallon I can travel 120,000 miles for the $15,000 difference.

Plug your Volt into any household outlet.
If you do that at work you will be charged by the company.
At home plug in costs the homeowner how much per plug in?
Bologna!

How do you calculate a per gallon mileage on a car that doesn’t use liquid fuel?
To: SeekAndFind
They don’t tell you it will take six days to make that trip.
Jeez

Government Motors, claims aplenty but no independent verification. I can see people driving down a street and running out of power, knock on a family's door and ask for a quick charge. LOL. Maybe they will invite you in for a cup of coffee. Amen.

Buy a comparable sized car for $20k, put the other $20k in an interest bearing large sum bank account, get thirty miles to the gallon in your conventional car and drive 150,000 miles (assuming $4 gas.)
There won't be any way to figure out the real difference in costs until we see how much it costs to plug in your car every night. A 40 mile car would do me good 90% of the time, but not so much when I need to drive to the ski slope in bad weather.
I still think $40k is a lot to pay for a small car. Remember that the $40k price tag is already subsidized by every American taxpayer.

If the EPA does not push back against this blatant lie, you will know that the fix is in, and the Obama Administration has their thumb on the scale, and will tell any lie to make sure GM succeeds.

Neil Cavuto said the Volt shows that the government could also do a good job on healthcare.

Nissan Leaf = 367 mpg, no tailpipe, and no gas required. Oh yeah, and itll be affordable too!
NissanEV shoots back at the latest Volt hype on Twitter, using the same DOE estimate as GM. That hit from the PR crackpipe sure didnt last long.
Why is GM asking $40,000 when Nissan will ask about $15,000 for the Leaf. And the Leaf gets 367 mpg. And it will be on sale in 2010.

Unemployed, lost my job June 30th.
Now thanks to you working people that are paying taxes, you are picking up 65% of my COBRA, (Porkulus) and my unemployment.
Also it sucks sitting around the house, playing w/my Clinton and scratching my Barry.

On that basis, an electric golf cart gets 10 trillion mpg.My minivan get 20,000 mpkw, assuming I turn on the garage lights and use my electric garage door opener. My Subaru gets 10 times that since I park it outside.

This whole gee whiz mpg electric car rage is for idiots who have no clue where the electricy comes from when they plug in these toys.
Imagine CA when there are 20 million electric cars all plugged in. Talk about brown outs...!

The battery pack can be recharged from a standard home outlet. Which we all know is FREE and has no emissions because the power is generated by converting bunny farts to rainbows!

The EPA has already contradicted GM. Not much of a contradiction.
