Chevy Volt: Is This Our Future?

It's funny you should say that, since I don't think I've ever known anyone to actually hit their EPA numbers. Then again, the EPA number calculations were recently revised.

That said, I don't consider driving <= 60mph to be 'easy'.

There's a good reason I said "simply" instead of "easily." I'm personally planning some mild aerodynamic modifications to decrease the 75mph cruising penalty.

But I was referring to the current EPA numbers; the pre-2007 EPA ratings are harder to exceed by such large percentages.

Uh...

you can easily get 10-20% above the EPA highway rating

It appears I said both "simply" and "easily." Your witticism was correct; I'll take my next freeway trip at 75mph by way of apology.
