Vote: Do you believe GM Volt will get 230 mpg in city driving?

Possibly. It depends on how far you drive between charges from an external power supply. MPG is not a very good measure of car efficiency when it comes to hybrids/electric cars.

You've got to figure in the consumption of electricity off the grid as well. It's like measuring how much a bucket with a hole in it can hold by pouring water into it. scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2009/08/the_ch....

Can you imagine yourself having your car getting a 10,000 miles checkup, and you can say: "Oh, and fill her up please, I' running a bit low on fuel". No, this milage will not happen with the Volt, unless you follow their wildly enthousiastic and creative calculations.

No. The Volt will get infinite miles per gallon when it is using battery instead of gas and will get about 40 mpg when running on gas. Didn't you ask this yesterday?

In a word, NO! But I will probably get an epa estimate 230. These estimates are done in dynomometer rooms with no air resistance to worry about and the temperature tighly controlled.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
