I’m reminded every time I’ve filled this bloody thing up why I’ve been doing the research on the Volt. Especially when I feed the pig every third workday due to my round trip commute. I’d be screwed if it wasn’t for these fuel locations. Even looking at the average fuel mpg without the electrical average WD points out, I’d be ahead in the long run.

I have calculated that the car payment plus insurance will be lesser than my fuel bill for the truck p/month. At the current odometer reading of just over 327,000, well, you know.......if you do the math. Being a power commuter, 24,000/year and that was scaling back the driving this past year from 30+ I have got to do something different. The green Exon Valdez is killing my inner child.
