The Volt fuel economy is all over the map
In many ways the 1st gen Volt is like an Insight
1. Only OEM tires return EPA
2. If it’s not 80F your fuel economy suffers
3. If your trip isn’t long you get low MPGs
4. Wrong oil drops mpgs
Many GM cars get terrible winter FE and I believe not enough effort is placed on cold running , emissions requirements paradoxically double fuel consumption during the first 5 minutes of engine use during very cold temperatures.
The Volt is ideal if you live in Florida or Cali and drive under 40 miles at a time for most trips, you would quite literally almost never use gas
