Interstate on-ramps in the southern states I passed through are quite short. They're expecially short considering the speed limit on the connecting freeway might be 70 MPH / 113 km/h.
I hear that! But you forgot to add "and the drivers are ayeholes and won't let you merge"

When I get on I-4, 275 or 75 in the Volt I bury it in sport mode as soon as I hit the on ramp so I'm usually going about 10 mph faster than the traffic by the time I need to merge. That way I don't depend on anybody to let me in, I make my own room cause like you said, you run out of real estate really quick down here!

In my Chevy C3500 truck I'm always pulling either my lawn trailer or my kayak trailer. For some reason people are a lot more forgiving when I'm merging onto the highway in the truck. I can't explain it, but they do tend to let me in a lot easier than they do in the Volt
