I was flabbergasted when I read about the huge tank in the Volt. It seemed like a bad idea for an electric car to have to drag around so much gasoline. I assumed that if I got one I'd keep the tank almost empty. I'm glad to see it's been downsized.

340 miles is fine, except for idiots who think that total range defines fuel economy -- and they are balanced out by the idiots who think that cost to fill the tank is what defines fuel economy.
