Volt = stupid. Just shows how deep in the pocket of the government owned GM things go. I have a full size truck I drive on occasion that with tuning changes, gets over 26 mpg. Chevy Volt??? Forget it, too many better alternatives available that have less impact on the environment and my $$$ bottom line. Only real reason to go electric to me is if there is no more gasoline.
