He could have bought a Prius
He could have bought a Prius C, had about the same $100 a month fuel cost, no electricity charge or inconvenience, paid less than half the price saving over $20,000 and, most importantly, not cost the rest of us 99 percenters $7500 plus state credits in tax subsidies.
Author must know this, why the misrepresentations on the Volt? Why do you think the Prius C sold more in 3 days than the Volt has in about a year and a half? The car doesn't make economic sense, and yet shills for GM continue to hype the vehicle and act as if the gas savings make up for the high cost. If they did, the car would sell more. Most people can figure this out, regardless of how hard you try to fool them.
