Price is ridiculously high for such type of car. Better get Honda Civic or other gasoline car and put the money difference towards gasoline. Gas saving on Volt is not going to be that much for an average daily driver anyway.

I agree with everything but your last sentence. The average daily driver (a few tens of miles a day) will rarely use gasoline at all.

I am not defending the Volt's price, but this fact is pretty impressive: this vehicle will use very little fuel in average applications.
