Neil Cavuto said the Volt shows that the government could also do a good job on healthcare.
The 230 mpg number is based on driving 50 miles. Of course, the first 40 are with the battery (infinite mpg), the last 10 are gas-powered (46 mpg).
12 gallon tank * 46 mpg + 40 battery miles = 49 mpg.
Did he think it just sprang fullblown from Obama's forehead? Didn't he know the obvious, that the Volt has been in design for many years, and was scheduled for some sort of rollout this next year, long before the gubmint stole the rights to it? Honestly, if he really said that, he must be getting a little demented.
