[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 843624, member: 48043"] How's the shift shock accelerating with the V?? My Mustangs had horrible shift shock; the Volt is basically as fast and has zero shift shock. The odd thing with this car is when you are on gas for a road trip (or if the battery is depleted) and you hit the throttle, the generator often picks up stronger to recharge the battery after you've already accelerated. The engine rpm and growl being dissociated from what the car is doing is rather unnerving to start with. You get used to it, same as you get used to plugging in every night and paying nearly nothing for gas. I drove 46 miles and change yesterday and used .03 gallons of fuel; the charge ran down just as we rounded the block to my house. As to the "pius", I don't know why anyone would go there unless they drive better than 50 miles a day or everything they drive is hiway. The volt's range suffers at higher speeds and you'll go to gas at 30-35 miles instead of the 45-48 I get running secondary roads and in town. The prius takes over somewhat when hiway is on the menu every day; the Volt only does 35-40 mpg hiway. [/QUOTE]
