Chevy Volt returns 127 MPG in an extended real-world test
Earlier this week we were a bit disappointed to learn that the Volt really isn’t a pure electric-drive vehicle, because it switches to a hybrid mode under certain circumstances. But now that real-world independent test numbers are starting to come in, we’re beginning to learn just how much of a leap forward the Volt might actually turn out to be.
Motor Trend has revealed that in 299 miles of normal driving over two weeks, their test Volt actually managed to get 126.7 MPG. That’s incredibly impressive, even if it’s only about half the figure GM announced with a lot of fanfare last year.
