I was reading an article about the Chevy Volt, planned for release in a couple of years.  It sounds like it might be something I would be interested in buying once it has been on the market for a couple of years and the bugs worked out of it.  The company claims it will get approximately 50 mpg, which is just about as good as you can expect from a car.  And the picture of the car shows it to be a fairly attractive vehicle, not a really ugly thing.  So I’ll be very interested to see how it actually turns out when it hits the market!
