When the time comes I will give the Volt a chance. I doubt the incentives will "add up" for me but you never know.

My mpg is falling rapidly for the winter, it was just 62 (not counting electricity costs) during that 9 degree day.

I do expect to be up around 80-85 once I have a full year under my belt, but my current 79 won’t hold up thru Jan and Feb before it rebounds. The morning vehicle pre-heat kills 1-2 miles of battery range, ditto the 'OMG I'm leaving work and its freezing out again' late afternoon pre-heat. My desire for a nice hot car will do me in until the weather changes for the 3 warm seasons - then watch out!
