Hah, only 1000? My wife is
Hah, only 1000? My wife is getting over 2200 MPG with her Volt! (According to the GM site MyVolt.com.) She has burned about 1.6 gallons since buying the car back in June of '10. The odometer reported a half gallon was already used before we took delivery, probably during assembly line testing, so really only 1.1 gallons used driving almost 5000 miles, so far. The gas engine has only been used four times while driving, but of course the advanced technology in this car is amazing. It's programmed to start the gas engine ever couple of months to keep it ready for when it's needed. That's happened a few times, or so I hear, it's never happened while I was driving.
See voltstats.net for the results of over 380 Volts driving over 2.2 million miles...
