How often does the gas engine on your car start?
For a person who is retired or works close too home and does not go out a lot it may well be as you claim.
Outside of those ideal conditions the Volt falls miserable on its face, but i do not need to tell you that I am sure you must understand that as well.
After all it can only travel 33 miles on its battery.
my point is the car sucks.
