I'm going to experiment in the Volt to see what kind of gas mileage it will get using the ICE motor only. Since the gas has just been sitting in it for three months, I might as well play around with hypermiling it while I burn through the tank of gas.
Does anybody know offhand long long you can keep the gas in the tank without it starting to degrade? And does it hurt your ICE motor to go months without being fired up?
I'll fill it up completely tonite (I used a couple of gallons the first week I owned it playing around with "mountain mode") and I'll reset the trip-B button. Then I'll find out just how many miles I can actually get on a tank of gas if I don't plug it in every night.
It's going to be a long, slow experiment since I put less than 40 miles a day on it.
