GM: Chevy Volt Will Get 230 MPG

GM's new Chevrolet Volt will notch a whopping 230 miles per gallon, the company claims.

WARREN, Mich. — General Motors said Tuesday that its Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle, scheduled for release in 2011, would achieve a fuel rating of 230 miles a gallon in city driving.

The rating number, based on methodology drafted by the Environmental Protection Agency, is somewhat abstract, one auto specialist said, given that much of the city driving of electric vehicles will rely solely on the battery charge.

We'll just wait and see.
