My highest FE was during 90F weather.
Which means a WAI is needed on the Volt
And yes my Insight looses much less FE in the cold than the Volt or even my Cobalt, it’s a damn shame that Chevy, dodge and Ford ignore cold weather operation

I wouldn't say so.
Anything above 80F needs AC.
If you can live without AC, fine. but here in FL, 80F means well over 90 in the car.
And 100F on the road, means near to 140F in the car.
AC uses up nearly 25% of the energy, so, no.
Best areas for the volt, would be 65-75F.
