Way closer to the Leaf (while on electric, of course) than I thought it would be. I guess it makes sense, they're both pretty aerodynamic and the Volt weighs a bit more. I'm not sure which powertrain is more efficient.

When they mention astericks, I think of baseball players on steroids. :p

Wayne is working on the release as we speak. The 60 is not the EPA number, but an average of the combined battery and gas. Their figure is not accurate as it is 1:1. Everyone will not hop in it and travel 379 miles each day.

The Leaf consumes a bit less kw than the Volt. Check the home page soon!
