i got 400 miles to a tank in a 1998 vw jetta.
so why is this car so exciting? i'm hearing $40k for the volt. i understand the whole if you drive less then 40 miles a day you never have to use any gas. but how long till you save enough on gas to make up the difference of the $40k price tag?
i was really excited for this car when i was hearing 600 to 700 miles a tank. not really that excited anymore.
