Can you believe GM's claim that the Chevy Volt would do 230 mpg based on the newly released EPA measurement procedures for plug-in hybrids?

Will someone please pass me the joint? *sarcasm*
230 mpg yeah yeah yeah but 40 miles on battery alone every full charge is gonna cost maybe like $1 to $3 for every 100 miles driving. At 40,000 a pop I dont think I can afford a Volt....
Let's wait and see what's going on once the EPA gets their hands on a Volt to test the mpg claim from GM....

The rating is based on methodology drafted by the Environmental Protection Agency, and most other automakers have not revealed the mileage for the electric cars. Nissan, however, announced last week that its all-electric vehicle, the Leaf, which comes out in late 2010, would get 367 m.p.g., using the same E.P.A. standards.
Figures for highway driving and combined city and highway use have not been completed for the Volt, but G.M.’s chief executive, Fritz Henderson, told reporters and analysts at a briefing that the car is expected to get more than 100 miles a gallon in combined city and highway driving.
