Your Volt's gas engine will only get more fuel efficient when it fully breaks in. Our 2016 Volt just on gas for the last couple of trips well outside of the electric range has been well over 50 mpg. I think using 0w20 mobil one synthetic motor oil the last oil change possibly bumped up the mpg's a little.
New Volt Owner in MN
Hello,
Purchased a new 2017 LT (grey, comfort I, lighted charge port) a couple of weeks ago! The car is even better than I thought. I had driven a Gen 1 Volt a couple of times and was impressed but the Gen 2 is even better. I drive approx. 50+ miles round trip each day and always have juice left in the battery so I drive almost exclusively EV. 2 exceptions, the dealer did not have the Volt charged at the time of purchase so I had to drive it most of the way home on gas and then I had to make an emergency 2 hour round trip drive to rescue my son's broken down vehicle. Even then, the energy screen said it was getting 45 mpg! Love the new Volt!
