I’d like to add some real world data. I’ve been driving my Volt for 6 months. I live in Houston and commute 29 miles round trip to work. I opted to install a 240 volt charging system to reduce charging time and charging losses. After 6 months I am averaging 43 miles a charge. My best was 50 miles and my worst was 28 miles. I pay ~$0.098/KwHr for electricty. I’m measuring 24KwHr/100 miles at the wheels and 28KwHrs/100 hours at the wall. That works out to ~$0.027/mile. I have driven 4063 miles and used just 5 gallons of gas and am still using the gas that was in it when I purchased it. I get stopped all the time in parking lots and at stop lights by people wanting to know what I was driving. I have never had anyone complain about leg room in the back seat. The car is quick, quite and the finest vehicle I have ever driven.

I feel blessed to have a chance to catch up. But when I do have to stay at a hotel, I am usually looking at location before I consider rewards – Marc I think you just pointed out that I need to reconsider that.
