A piece of that car belongs to me! I paid for it... I am entitled to ripping it off and taking it home...

This should have been released when gas cost too much for us to be able to support our extravagant driving habits.

You can also look at it differently. Heavy taxes on fuel in Europe make us experience changes in the world oil price much less. And per driven kilometer people pay about as much in Europ and America btw., just a case of people driving different types of cars.

The good news for countries which have low taxes is that all the developments in fuel efficiency have been done for them btw.]]>Apr 29th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/If you calculate it in Eurosper Liter you would be at 0,79 €/Liter.
We have prices about 1,25 €/Liter and you think 4$ a gallon is high?....lol

Congrats?

Considering your socialist government is now reliant on that exorbitant 'petrol' tax, they'll need a new way to collect it before it disappears.

How come Toyota came out with these first? GM is a day later and a few million short.

Workers lose their jobs and the executives, for years, were taking home millions.

Good riddance Pontiac. Good riddance Oldsmobile. I do hope the Volt is a success, but it is a bit late.]]>Apr 29th 2009 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/Apr 29th 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/Apr 29th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/Apr 29th 2009 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/

Surely the Government of California (and by that I mean the citizens, since they elect their own government) is adequately prepared for the increase in electric vehicles.

After all, didn't California lead the US in calling for EVs? Like way back in 1990 when they started the ZEV program?

I would certainly hope that a state that has tried to dictate emissions specifications to the auto industry would have already created the infrastructure required to support the automobiles it demanded - otherwise, what was the point?]]>Apr 29th 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/Apr 29th 2009 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/17/california.budget.crisis/index.html]]>Apr 29th 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/Apr 29th 2009 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/Apr 29th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/video-chevy-volts-powertrain-taken-for-a-first-ride/
