I commute too far, my winter is too cold, and I can't charge my car at work. But for a certain segment the Volt makes perfect sense now.

I agree - if you had a really long commute it might not be as efficient (although you would always get about 40 miles on electricity before it switches over to the engine, and then you get about 35-40 mpg). And it doesn't do as well in the winter - I did notice that, it uses the engine some when it gets below 30 - I think partially to heat the batteries, so I found I filled up about once every 2 months in the winter, and I would have to plug it in at home for about 1/2 hour each day to make up for the loss in battery power on really cold days.
But, it is nice to have it as a choice now...
