Their corporate average fuel economy would be infinity!
Actually they would only need to sell one Volt ever because the CAFE would be infinity for one year which they then could use the credit from that one year for an infinite number of years. Or they could try to use the back credit for EV-1 that was out and didn't use fuel.
