But 20% off 230 mpg, would mean coming up 46 mpg short. That usually doesn't faze consumers when the difference is, say, 20% off 20 mpg. On average, he says, vehicles get about 15% to 20% worse fuel economy than the government ratings. Brennan says he hopes GM has learned from its past mistakes and is not overpromising on the fuel economy.īrett Smith, an alternative technology analyst at the Center for Automotive Research, says GM's next step should be to brace consumers for some disappointment. The EPA has not tested GM's claims and can't confirm the fuel-economy figures, the agency said in an e-mailed statement. "I think it will take about five years before people are talking about this differently." "Eventually, it will change, because we're going to be getting our fuel from many different buckets - electricity, hydrogen, biofuels," Brennan says.

GM calculates that at about 3 cents per mile for Volt. We'll likely end up talking about "price per mile" - the cost to drive the car a mile - says Reilly Brennan, editor in chief of AOL Autos.

The number is based on tests GM did using an Environmental Protection Agency draft proposal for calculating "mpg" for electric cars - and leaves many wondering if the Volt can actually achieve such an amazing feat. Drivers who want to increase the fuel economy on their current vehicle may want to invest in a tune up or fuel injection cleaning.DETROIT - General Motors let loose an eye-popping number on Monday: Its coming Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid car will get 230 miles per gallon. The Volt hasn't sold well thus far, but there's no denying the car offers excellent fuel economy. "This attention to detail will allow our customers to experience more pure EV range, which is the true benefit of owning a Volt." We've done some work at the cell level to modify the 'ingredients' to make a better end result," said Bill Wallace, GM director of battery systems engineering. Sometimes if you use more sugar and less vanilla you get a better tasting cake. "The best way to explain what we've done at the cell level is to compare it to a cake batter recipe.

In total, the car can now travel 380 miles on both electric and gas before the driver needs to either charge the battery or fuel up.
