Flashback: GM's Latest 'Crapload' of Chevy Volt Nonsense | National Legal and Policy Center

the idea that Volt owners are really that mathematically challenged to believe they are saving money is mind boggling.

Let's review this again for those that can't seem to figure it out. The science isn't as hard to understand as the space shuttle-like technology in the Volt. The Volt's electric range of 25 to 40 miles is the equivalent of approximately one gallon of fuel for a similar sized, conventional, gas efficient vehicle. It cost about $1.70 in electricity to charge the battery. Gas cost about $3.70 a gallon. $3.70 minus $1.70 equals $2 in savings. You can save about $2 a day in gas usage by driving a Volt. I'll even neglect the extra cost of premium fuel needed for the Volt and the gas used while in electric mode. This isn't that hard to keep up with, is it? I'll bet non-Volt owners can figure it out, that's why they are not buying the car, despite the misrepresentations of huge savings.

The cost of the Volt is over twice the amount of competitive small, gas powered vehicles. After the 99 percenters pay for tax subsidies for the wealthy, math-challenged .001 percenters who buy the Volt, the car cost about $15,000 more. I can't understand how these people got wealthy enough to buy the cars if they can't even understand that they're not saving a "crapload" of money.

Of course, given the deceptive nature of Government Motors, those who are making the false claims about "savings" are probably aware of the truth. They just don't like to speak it. Maybe GM is using actors to portray real owners to misrepresaent how much can be "saved" by buying a Volt.

@rebmoti Very kind Moti. Never intended to become public figure, wasn't given a choice. Have done my best to use as opportunity to inform.

Rajan's Take: Climate Change: 350.Org Climate Alarmist Network wanted to start a joke but found the joke was on themselves!!

350.org apparently was shown their place by Gaia herself - a thunderstorm materialized from nowhere, plunging temperatures down. Gore effect variant?
