If thats the case Clone and Mod the Volt to be classifed as a "Truck" say 80miles to the Gallon instead of 100 and GM is set.

I my book a truck is not a "Truck" unless its BOF, the Cab and Bed are Separate.


I think these numbers are over inflated.

Oh, Yeah Don't we already have budget short falls to repair worn out roads and Bridges because people are Driving Less and/or Riding Motorcycles.
