    From the report in CNN Money today the mileage for the gasoline generator is only 30 mpg. If they do an average with/without, the car is going to get 60 mpg at best.

    30 mpg in charge depleted mode must be a typo.

    I think the Volt is a stillborn dud, but no need to add FUD to the bashing ;)
