Chevy Volt’s “230 MPG” Propaganda

"The Chevy Volt gets 230 MPG? Really? Using GM’s “calculations” if you drive under 40 miles per day, you will get infinite MPG! The reality is that the Chevy Volt runs 40 miles on battery power, then a gasoline generator kicks in and you average around “40 MPG”. However, I will wait for the real MPG rating as the Prius’s initial 60 MPG rating was a lie - try 45 MPG. But what does a plug-in electrical charge (which is not free) have to do with MPG? Absolutely nothing, it is pure propaganda using it to calculate “MPG”. How dishonest has Government Motors become to lie about the Volt’s MPG just to sell a car that only the mathematically challenged would buy? Apparently a sucker is born every minute…"

Even if they did have a 230 mpg car, I will never buy anything from GM as long as I live, even if they do become private again (which I highly doubt).

Agreed.

In most of the world fraudulent advertising is considered a crime and should be punished as such (sadly this doesn’t include electoral promises). Has someone taken the case to the proper authorities, just to have a good laugh? [:D]

Well fraud and force are the two things that infringe on a persons rights, so I believe they should be punished.

That would be awesome. Although I doubt Government Motors would be harmed by anyone in the government, including the judiciary…
