If it cuts your range from 35 to 30 miles it can make a huge difference. If it cuts my range from 400 to 375 doesn't matter as my bladder range is only 250 miles.

If you are going 250 miles in a Volt you will be into the gasoline anyway. Not sure it matters much if you lose 2 to 5 miles of electric range when going 250 miles.

That is ture if you went 250miles in ONE DAY and ONE TRIP but generally we go 40 miles or less each day. so in 6 days or so we go 250 miles and use hardly any gas! So if I said I went 250 and used 1/10 of a gallon of gas you could say I'm getting 2500 mpg of gas. Yes there were 5 times I recharged so 6 dollars of electricity were used.
Bottom line:::::::: 1/10th of gallon of oil produced fuel!
