500 mpg is peanuts compared to the 1,000 mpg Fisker. See the article today that that GM (Government Motors) is losing nearly $50,000 per Volt produced. Unpatriotic.
Nobody gets 500 or 1000 mpg without using some other fuel source. The beauty of these vehicles is that other fuel is domestic. No war has been fought to secure our domestic coal, natural gas, solar, wind, or nuclear power. I look forward to the day we import no oil.
GM makes makes a marginal profit on every Volt that contributes to engineering and overhead. If you expect it to pay all those costs during the first 18 months it just will not happen. As long as sales continue to increase GM will make more money every month.
