I'm also impressed that there are people who have over 20,000 miles on their Volt in less then a year! I could not imagine driving that much in a year, but I guess that is why some people buy new cars.

There was much hype about range anxiety with the Leaf but there is another anxiety you don't hear much about that is rampant in the Volt community. It's called Gas Anxiety. That's when your driving your Volt and you find yourself going out of your way, doing all you can, to not burn gas. Sneaking your charge cord into unsecured grounded plugs for a kilometer or two of juice. Trying to eek out that last EV mile by not using your brakes and only using the aggressive regenerative braking of Low. I suffer from it a quite a bit, some have it more than others. It's a burden every Volt owner feels at one time or another! LOL
