I am not an aggressive driver on the commute, but I think the Volt has even added to that. Traffic Jams - who cares, I'll get home. Stupid driver cuts me off - glad I am not dumb like him.
Maybe we would be more civil... who knows.

Nah. i dont' use that display mode. I just use the (A) summary mode. Sometimes I put the energy flow display on the center screen.
And I don't want to be civil. It's fun to drag race all the 3-series drivers who appear to be personally affronted by the presence of the Volt. My other car provokes the 6-series drivers. I think BMW drivers generally just have chips on their shoulders.
I do 100+ mile trips all the time, so my overall (lifetime) mileage varies from 122 to 126. The funny part is that two other Porsche hobbyists went out and got identical white Volts, so from time to time, the places we go look like dealerships.
Very happy with the choice of the Volt after 21K miles and 27 months of ownership. Or, leasership. It's just a bonus that our enemies in the ME are deprived of some money for ammo.
