Re:More Range in Chevy's Volt Means You Hardly Ever Need Gas

A lot of people still like to take longer trips (400 or so miles) in their automobiles. Not as often as they run around town, obviously, but these are things people think about when purchasing a vehicle. So, while hauling around a gas engine and tank seems wasteful, people are not yet willing to forego having a car with decent enough range to take them away for vacation.

For instance here in the Mountain Time Zone we pretty much get 1 1/2 cities per state and they're not small states so there's usually monthly trips of ~200 miles (± driving in the city).
