[Spridgets] Volt

[Tim Collins]

Just saw a story on the news about a Michigan guy who has the first 
Chevy Volt in the state. He found it at a dealer on Long Island, flew 
out and drove it back. He went the first 30 miles from LI to MI on 
the battery, then the engine kicked in. Got 30 mpg for the trip. 
Around town (in our harsh weather - ie needs to use heater, heated 
seats, etc,) he's getting 25 mpg. Sticker price was $41k, but of 
course he got some help from us and his electric utility supplier. 
25mpg?????? Something is wrong with this picture.
