You used "efficiency" loosely. At what cost will you be able to justify its "efficiency"? I don't care who started it, let's take away that governement subsidy and see how long the Volt lasts in showrooms. Answer- it won't be long.
Let's say you buy a Cruze, that looks similar for oh, 16K. That's about 14K or so from the Volt MSRP. At 3 bucks per gallon, averaging 25 mpg (it might even be more), you bought yourself 116K miles of fuel for the difference. And you haven't even plugged in your Volt first.
So what's so efficient about it again?
