“Confessions of a Chevy Volt Owner.” A surprising, frank interview with an owner of a Volt after one year of driving. 203 miles per gallon in the first year at 16,000 miles. Not a typo. His previous car, a Volvo, got 18 miles per gallon. (I get about 28 mpg in my ol’ benz.) “I wish I bought the car. I absolutely love it.” He leased it because he was skeptical of owning it. But, wishes he bought it. “I didn’t buy it to save money.” The biggest surprise here. He bought it to help eliminate the need for oil. “My home electricity bill is about the same as when my daughter lived here in high school.” After a year of plugging it in to his home, his electricity bill remains the same and didn’t go up as expected. He responds to the common criticism, “The Chevy Cruze is cheaper.” “Well, a bicycle is even cheaper and saves more gas than the Cruze. So is a used car. So is walking. Look, this isn’t about money, it’s about oil.” The interview is short and surprising. Have a look. via climateadaptation:
