Unprecedented green movement GM showed off, of course, the Chevy Volt and the Chevy Cruze today. Not a lot of new, groundbreaking info regarding the Volt, although yesterday I learned that the Volt is more aerodynamic than both the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight.

38 mpg in the city? Earlier this week Edmunds.com suggested a few new things about the Chevy Volt that I covered in Chevy Volt EV range and fuel economy updated . First, Edmunds claimed that the Chevy Volt, once EV range expires, would only achieve about 38 mpg. Second, Edmunds claimed that for the average driver – 15,000 miles per year – the Volt would cost about the same as a 59 mpg vehicle to fuel per year. Earlier today…
