The volt is realistically in the same category as hybrids.
How long does it take for the FE improvements of a hybrid outweigh the price boost. Annual fuel cost of my car driving it hard and the only mod being no AC is less than 2.5K. So if it was a 100% improvement.. and used half as much fuel.. it would still take 10 years to pay for it.. if I got a civic and made the same adjustments and it would take 2-3 years to pay for the difference in fuel.
How much more so for a 40K car.....
If I have to buy a new car it would be a Kia for 10-12 grand... even if it had terrible FE it would be cheaper to drive, maintain and pay for for a decade.
