They make the price of a fillup seem extremely cheap... only $2.
Yet for that price, they only go 45 miles.
Or about 22.5 miles per dollar.
So if you have a car that does 20 miles per gallon, and gas is only $1.50/gallon. That is essentially an equivalent price for to the gas price.
The price only seems cheap when comparing fillups. But for my $75 bucks for a full tank, I get to go 400 miles.
So I get about 40 miles for every $7.50 or 20 miles for every $3.70 (20 miles per gallon for my truck).
After Obama gets through with the coal fired plants and makes electricity skyrocket also, there is no savings even against my truck.
...I get about 40 miles for every $7.50 or 20 miles for every $3.70...
I can't tell if you're arguing for or against the Volt. By your math they're getting 22.5 miles per dollar while you're only getting 5.4.
