Inode, > There will be a not-insignificant portion of the Volts sold which will be driven purely on gasoline yielding maybe 35 mpg

I visited this one Sonoma County winery that prides itself on being "environmentally sustainable." The building is made out of recycled materials, the farming is all organic, and there is even a charging station for electric vehicles.

I talked to the proprietor there, who drives a Prius, and she has no plans to get the Chevy Volt. It's just too expensive.

Remember when the executives of GM drove to Washington in a Chevy Volt because there was a public outcry over their private jets? What a show that was.
