A good friend of mine bought the first Volt in the state of Wisconsin.

We typically talk fuel mileage, and here is what he had to say:

In the winter, he typically gets high 30's.

Spring, summer, fall, he gets mid 40's.

He tends to drive the car much faster than I do with my Insight, and his mileage shows it.

If I had to guess, I would say it would relatively easy to get 50 mpg with the way I drive.

By the way I did drive the car about 20 miles, and it's eerie how smooth and quiet the car is!! The coolest thing is: you plug it in!

Jim.
