Wow that's meager. But I see these cars moderately frequently down here in OC California. Also, I saw a commentary on GM's Volt decision that really ought to get wider consideration: the 5 week delay in production is exactly the kind of thing they did not do in the past and should have done when models piled-up. They are adjusting supply to demand, and the Volt got some lousy press with the hyped-up fire incidents. Looks to me like normal and smart business adjustments.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
