Default Dying for a Chevy Volt, but....

"Existential Angst" wrote in message
...


YET, you see these huge "equivalent" mpg numbers for electrics, typically
around 100 mpg, implying a $ per mile cost of less than 1/3 the cost of a
30 mpg vehicle..
But my calcs show that an electric will be *at least* as expensive as gas,
and likely considerably more than gas, as a fuel.... What gives??


Idears?? Opinions?

Is that 100mpg "equivalent" with lights on, heater running, wipers on
in a typical new york winter? How about AC in the summer? I bet that
100mpg is bull****, maybe half in the real world. At least you dont have
to pay extra for heat with a gasoline engine in the winter.

Best Regards
Tom.
