I have a 65 mile round trip drive to and from work and the thought of being able to only use gas for 5 miles each day is highly attractive. It's another perk of working at General Motors HQ since there's charging stations for Volt owners to use - I could charge overnight at home, drive to work, charge while I'm at work, and drive home.

The numbers Volt owners are getting for "gas mileage" is truly amazing. There's a website called voltstats.net where Volt owners are tracking their mileage - both electric and gas. Right now the site's average MPG is 119... booyah, that's awesome.
Thats the other awesome thing. There are tons of charging stations where I work. So I can practically drive the car for free.
Again My financial incentive is low. Although I will be saving about 80 bucks a month in lower payments.
Ill definitely be sad to see the camaro go. Its my first new car and its been a freaking awesome car.
The other reason is this this fella I added to my life.
