Hey folks, I'm a long time lurker on the forum and thought I'd break the trend today and post something. I love reading all the great ideas for improving the economy of all cars out there and enjoy the heated debates that are bound to come up.
In September I bought a Volt and have been enjoying the car immensely. Though after doing a quick search through the forum I noticed a lot the same ole Rush Limbaugh being rattled around here about the Volt. Love it or hate it, your opinion is yours but I thought I'd post a link to a site that uses the OnStar diagnostics to track the real world numbers fof Volt drivers who let them know what is going on with their cars by signing up with the site. Say what you will, but the numbers speak for themselves. And even though I would have liked to see better mileage in CS(generator) mode, the overall combined mileage number is the more important one. It is completely different to drive than a conventional hybrid and will need new techniques to get the best mileage out of the generator.
Check it out! I'm sure you will find it interesting!
Apparently I lurk too much and I can't post a link so I will spell it out for you ,

It's worth a look and there is no advertizing on it...
