According to a Fox News article today, the soon to be announced Chevy Volt sounds pretty exciting: “GM says it will be able to travel 40 miles on electric power alone, but carries a small gasoline engine on board to recharge the batteries on longer trips. The combination of the two power sources gives it an effective efficiency of over 100 miles per gallon.”

It’s a far cry from the ‘57 Chevy with a 4-barrel carb my wife drove in high school!
