jk. dont have one. not surprised though. their readers are not EV'ers...at least not yet
Actually, they're getting getting way less than even 35 miles pure ev, typically, when driven hard, uphill ... cold weather etc ...mitch672 said:Oh I can see that, why it's not quite as good as a 2010 Prius, (at 38mpg CS mode, versus 50mpg for the Prius), what's so wonderfull about it? 40-50 miles of EV range? I doubt most of those Volt buyer will even bother to plug it in... The plug in conversion I can get for my 2010 Prius at the end of this year will get between 40-60 miles of EV range, and when the pack's depleted, damn, I'm only going to get a lousy 50mg

So the car claims to have only burned 1.7 gallons over those 537 miles?ColinSummers said:According to the app on my iPhone, the car has gone 537 miles, 262 totally electric, for an MPG of 316.
ColinSummers said:I wouldn't have burnt that much, but I've been letting people test drive it and encouraging them to stomp on the pedal.

I blame GM for those gas miles. Since I've had it I've burnt 0.07 gallons and 0.03 gallons on two separate days. I wouldn't have burnt that much, but I've been letting people test drive it and encouraging them to stomp on the pedal.

Without knowing the amount of gas burned and kWh used to charge the car, the numbers appear to be fictitious given that the Volt is expected to get about 40mpg when the engine turns on.
