Sure, but how often do you drive 230 miles in a day? (If you do it frequently, maybe the Volt isn't the right car for you.)
I think people are just going to have to get used to the fact that with plug-in hybrids, there's no one number that everyone can agree on for mpg. If you lived in a moderate climate (so you never needed heat or A/C), and always drove less that 40 miles a trip, you'd get infinite mpg. If you left home one morning and drove across the country without ever recharging the batteries, you'd get closer to the 40 to 60 mpg figure.
