This saves us so much gas but it does add up at the end of the month. Since mid Feb we have saved over $1,700 in gas and driven 10,504 EV miles. We fill up with sun solar power.  We just put gas in the Volt that is the first time we have been to the gas station for almost 2 months. We live away from town or we might not use any gas like lots of Volt owners.
PB,
One of my friends told me that Chevy plans on coming out with an EV that goes 200 miles on a charge by 2016.

I think it's great that you're saving so much on gas.
