(Sigh) That old nonsense again? The people who are the customer base for hybrids, and who will be the customer base for the Volt, don't care that much about fuel cost. As I keep saying, if it was just money, I could run a Hummer and never worry about the cost of gas (beyond my ingrained thriftiness, anyway). But if the extra money I spent on my Insight has kept a few tons of CO2 out of the air, and a few dollars out of the hands of the jihadists, then IMHO it was money well spent.
