Edmunds average cost per mile is based on 60% gasoline and 40% electricity. If you drove around town or shorter trips, and not long road trips like they did, YMMV as they say.
Under electric-only use, Edmunds saw 33.7 kWh/100 miles. At the US average of $.12 per kWh (not taking advantage off off-peak rates) you'd be at $.04 per mile with the Volt, as tested by Edmunds (electric only).
See the article linked above. There are charts with their 10,000 mile report.
