I don't think you're going to buy a Volt over a Beamer or an Audi because you like the Volt's design better. Hardly anyone would buy a Prius if it didn't have superior fuel economy. So try again Ted. Why buy a Volt if you're not going to save money on fuel? There will be a not-insignificant portion of the Volts sold which will be driven purely on gasoline yielding maybe 35 mpg, something that is totally achievable without one nickel of taxpayer money being spent.

Ted, > But that's not the only reason why people buy a car. I bought a Beamer instead of an Audi because I liked its design better. I don't think you're going to buy a Volt over a Beamer or an Audi because you like the Volt's design better. Maybe. But you might buy a Volt over a Prius. Hardly anyone would buy a Prius if it didn't have superior fuel economy. You know that how? You've proven nothing. So try again Ted. Why buy a Volt if you're not going to save money on fuel?' Who said you're not going to save money on fuel? You may or may not save as much money as a Prius.....that has yet to be determined........but you will save money. Ten, you are out of your league. Move to Mississippi and you will be top dog. Promise.
