From the front page of the Driving section of today's paper, another article on the Volt.
The Chevrolet Volt is one of the most intriguing vehicles to come along in a very long time (fuel cell aside). It promises to deliver acceleration to 96 km/h in 8.5 seconds -- having 273 pound-feet of torque on tap at Rev One certainly helps -- and an average fuel economy of less than seven litres per 100 kilometres. For those who are lucky enough to have a commuting distance less than the electric-only maximum driving range, fuel economy is a moot point. This opens up a potential hurdle: If the driver is only filling the tank once a year, how does he combat stale gasoline?
If only I had that problem!
