We have only purchased an additional 7 gallons of gas, and we still have most of it in the tank!! We are averaging between 125 to 135 mpg!!

It is easy to tow and has become our favorite daily driver while the minivan and truck sit in the driveway!!
Our minivan and truck sit most of the time as well.
We've had the Volt for a year, put 15000 miles on it, 10000 of those have been electric. Lifetime MPG is 84.66 (2.78 L/100km) and climbing. :)
