If you think in terms of 10-15% higher city fuel economy, the savings and reduced pollution will pay for itself. A car rated at 20 city/30 highway becomes 22 or 23 city/30 highway. Or if a 30 city, becomes 33 or 34 city. Expect to see this on almost all cars.

Exactly - its a transition to VOLTEC for everything else. It's actually really smart of GM to produce BAS II and get this right - its insurance. My understanding is it costs significantly less than a diesel.
