I drive a Red HHR 19 miles to work second shift in a factory that makes automotive parts for GM and many other manufactures. When I get there I park in a row of big pickup trucks. The factory was kind enough to provide a few electric outlets for people to plug in their diesels when it is cold. (See where I am going here?)
When the weather is bad I drive a red Chevy Colorado. Even when the weather is bad (4wd) I get 20mpg. Both vehicles are standard transmissions. (That narrows down the odds considerably)
I have a windmill in the yard and a very well insulated garage that is set up with radiant heat. Payments for both vehicals combined are under $500 a month. They will be paid for when the Volt is ready. I use about 100 gallons of fuel a month
