Chevy Volt Video - 0 to 60 in Under 9 Seconds and Less than 30 MPG in CS Mode

A new video has been unearthed which shows a lucky reporter who gets an extended ride in the Chevy Volt. What makes the video interesting is the look at the data readout on the LCD showing the metrics for this particular drive. Some quick math shows that the oil fired combustion engine/generator obtained about 27 mpg. When the Volt was first introduced, it was hoped this engine could get closer to 50 mpg. The driver also was able to achieve 0 to 60 in a respectable 8.53 seconds in Sports mode

The reporter appeared to come away quite happy about the Volt and having apparently also driven the Nissan LEAF found the Volt superior in interior room, handling and driving performance. The Volt “borders on sporty and is fun,” he said.
