Few people are willing to buy a car that goes 35 miles on an 8 hour charge.

Seeing as that would meet the needs of about 90% of the population, why do you think it is that people won't buy it?

Note to cd. Check sales. :S

First let me say the car gets betw'n 40 and 44 miles constantly on electric.

Second it only takes 3 to 4 hours to charge and there are a lot of charging sites already and more coming some are free.

Third August was the best month so far for Volt sales.

Forth every day and I mean every day people ask me about the car. they have some info but like Lindsay it is flawed. Most are really excited after learning about it.

Fifth I reset my trip meter have gone 280 miles and used .1 gallon of gas so that equates to 2800 mpg.

With the new fuel standards I am sure the car companies have their sites on cars like the Volt to make it ease to reach those standards.
The good news is that it applies to trucks also so maybe we'll see diesels getting far more MPG!
