If my wife buys a Volt and her daily commute is 15-20 miles, and the Volt can be plugged in every night, how much gas will she use each month? The answer to this question will be a deciding factor on the purchase of a Volt. Some of the mpg ratings in that story were horrible.
Technically, assumming she doesn't floor it all the time...

she should never need a drop of gas if she drives it less than 40 miles a day and can charge it between trips.
