"Getting Realistic Fuel Economy Rating for Plug-In Hybrids No Easy ...
[Green Car Advisor] But GM says the Volt's range extender consumes a gallon of gas every 30 miles after the battery is depleted, so a driver with a 50-mile commute would get 75 MPG on gasoline, plus the electrical consumption, while someone driving 100 miles a day would be getting around 50 MPG from the gas engine-generator, pus the energy value of the electricity used for the first 40 miles.

BG Views - Hybrid cars create obstacle for Obama
[The BG News on BG Views Network] Obama's own auto industry task force, which is trying to help GM and Chrysler emerge from the crisis that left them needing $17.4 billion in government loans, casts doubt on the Volt in a March 30 report which says while the car "holds promise, it will likely be too expensive to be commercially successful in the short term." GM has not announced pricing for the Volt, but it's expected to cost between $30,000 and $40,000.

GM Brings on the Fuel Efficiency with Direct Injection ...
[Automobile Rumor Central] "Direct injection is a near-term solution - along with hybrid and biofuels like E85 - that fits well within GM's current portfolio, but our strategy envisions mid- and long-term powertrain solutions that will ultimately reduce vehicle emissions to zero, increase fuel efficiency dramatically, and displace petroleum as the primary energy source," Stephens said in the release. "Vehicles like the 2011 Chevrolet Volt... are tangible examples of GM's vision."

DI FTW: GM new direct-inject 2.4L EcoTec and 3.0L V6 - Autoblog
[Autoblog] This evening GM has unveiled a 2.4-liter direct injection EcoTec four-cylinder that will kick out 180 horsepower while returning a projected EPA highway rating of 30 mpg (Ford's 2.5L I-4 produces 170 hp and returns a maximum of 28 mpg highway). It's a marvelous way to send the old 3.4 liter V6 into the sunset, but if you absolutely must have a V6, there's also a DI 3.0-liter version of GM's excellent "high feature" V6 delivering an impressive 255 horsepower (Again, Ford's heavily revised 3.0L V6 produces 240 hp).
