There is more to it. People seldom buy cars based solely on the cost of fueling them. There are a number of reasons why I bought a Volt, among them is that it is interesting. It appeals to me for the same reasons I was attracted to my first VW bug, my 356s, my 911, my old Dodge truck - most of the vehicles I own. I find them fun, interesting, and a little different than what everybody else drives. I could not have gotten a Dino car this interesting for under $20 grand.
