We had to go from Hemet, CA to San Diego, CA today for our youngest daughter's baby shower. 195 mile round trip. I left the car in Normal Mode. I got a range of 52.1 miles on a full charge and 42 mpg when running in ICE mode. Average mpg of 57.2. I normally do a 26 mile trip to work, recharge there and do the reverse 26 mile trip home for all EV miles.
I am impressed and the more I drive the Volt the more I love it! (We have only had it a month or so). Note: Cruise Control was set at 63 mph for the highway portion of the trip which accounted for an estimated 95% of the miles.

Impressive

Im impressed. We purchased a 2015 about a month ago and have enjoyed it so far. Colder weather up in Washington state hasn't been as kind to the all EV mileage although we are still happy to be getting 30 miles a day in EV and is more than the daily commute. Hope in a another month or so to see the higher ev range like you. Congrats on your purchase and hope you continue to have fun with it like we have.

This pretty much matches my experience with similar distances when I had the 2014. The 2014 model year is a really solid build and has a few more key features verses the earlier years. My only recommendation would be to use hold mode for the highway miles when you know you'll be exceeding the range. That said I really don't think you could have had better numbers than this. Welcome to the club.

The first time my '11 turned on it's generator was on day one, a half mile from home.

Those numbers look pretty good! I recently did a similar distance of 130 miles and was able to get 38 miles out of the battery, and 55 MPG average. Not bad for a almost 6 year old car. Same trip with a few hours charging @120V, maybe 12 miles netted 65MPG.

I did the same trip in my 20 year old pickup hauling supplies twice and used almost 20 gallons...
