Gallon per gallon actually works in favor of your Volt. At your numbers you save ~1 cent per mile with the Volt only using electricity. Your numbers come out to 99mpg for a car to have the same fueling cost vs your Volt so you have a good electricity rate which is good.
It looks like you're only using ev mode in your Volt, that is some sick hypermiling getting 150% from a Volt.
If anyone thought I was cherry picking i did factor in the better 114 mpge combined rating of the Leaf. And with how cheap gas is and the cost of my electricity i found i'd only need 54mpg to have the same fueling cost which i thought amusing.
