1. Only OEM tires return EPA

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

Looks like the only thing currently in my favor is long trips...
