TECO made me want to punch babies. One reason I left Tampa.

The Volt seems like it's in danger of turning into one of these cars that gets talked about but never makes it into production...

Hopefully in 10 years we'll have a good recycling program for the batteries because I do like the idea for this car.

Still siding with Hydrogen cars as being a better future for the environment.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I dont travel more then 40miles round trip to work/school and besides once the energy runs out the gas engine still gets good mpg.

$.40 a day.

Did anyone read the article?
haha, I read the article and caught the 40k part but thats all speculation. Hopefully they really can get it that low, or lower possibly

Also, it says that you can go 40 miles on strait electric so that would mean there is no MPG becuase there are no gallons being used. The 230 mpg has to be total
