Looking back at the Volt mileage calculations, if it uses .22 gallons to go 11 miles, that means - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:33 6

  - But I mean, take out the first 40 miles on electric, and then you're purely on electric. - JaxSean Aug 11, 08:40
- do those calculations take into account the energy needed to charge the battery? or just the gas? -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 08:37
- It seems hard to guage since it's so dependent on how the car is driven. Honestly I think I could drive that car and need to fill it up on average - pmb Aug 11, 08:36

- any savings you could expect would be spent on law enforcement catching the politicians taking even more bribes that they do now -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 08:28 1

- I believe that says 1st (USA) and 3rd (Canada). Spain is 2nd. -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 08:25
