Chevy Cruze:

Chevy Volt

Same car (both Daewoo/Opel designed/engineered Delta II platforms), different drivetrains. Volt will get 55-60 mpg in real life. Cruze will get 45 mpg at half the price.

I hate Government Motors and would never buy either.

340-40=300miles

9 gallons over 300 miles = 33.3mpg for the Volt’s engine.

9 gallons over 340 miles = 37.7mpg for the Volt’s engine and battery.

Overall FE for the Volt seems decidedly unimpressive on long trips.
