The Volt has become similar to the Prius. Their drivers have been known to be very smug. Most owners drive it as a status symbol to say, "Hey look how environmentally conscious I am, I am much more advanced than you!"
It isn't the cars fault. Well okay, the Volt was doomed to be a smug car because of the huge price tag...
I have a lot more respect for people that take used cars and modify them and their driving to achieve better fuel economy. There is just something about buying a newly manufactured car for $40,000 that seems a bit uneconomical.
