Our electric grid won’t handle every one having one of these rolling death traps.
I’ve had a Chevy Sprint, had an 8 gal gas tank, 3 cylenders, ran on only high test, and only from certain stations or it would foul the carb up. Great gas millage. Great for getting around town, BUT it would beat you to death on a long trip.
I’m getting about 30 mpg in my Corolya in city.
BTW gas was up .22 cents here in Memphis over the past week putting us at about $3.25 a gal for 87 octane.
I agree. I have a 2 year old Corolla and get 30 mpg overall. I'll probably put at least 150,000 miles on the car before trading in for another one (or something similar). The car is comfortable even on long trips. Maintenance is affordable. So the cost of ownership is very reasonable. I don't have to turn off the heat or AC to get good mileage. I cannot imagine why anybody would buy a Volt.
