Generally speaking, most cars end up getting better than EPA rated gas mileage.

And no ish GM is trying to save its arse. Duh. What you missed by not clicking on Dan's link was a live feed by Fritz Henderson fielding questions from both onsite and from the interwebs.

Is the 230 b4 after or including the 40 miles of electric only? I want to know the mpg after the battery only is gone.

The idea is you keep it in its cruising range, and the gas engine never comes on. You plug it in when you get home, a viola! 1,000,000,000 MPG!

Fritz was asked about plug-in availability. They are quite aware that if you park your car on the street, you're pretty much SOL.

Also, intial rollout numbers of production? 60,000. That's a fair amount. Also, it seems the government will be giving a $7500 tax credit with the purchase of a Volt.
