Smug rating (tailpipe only) is higher than that of a Prius driver  ;)  Time to upgrade, AirB?

There only 135,000 on the Prius, and it paid for.
May just get some heated seat install and call it a day

I honestly though the ratings would be higher for the new Volt.  Even with the Prius PHEV laughable 11 mile range, it still gets 95eMPG....

Curious to see what the new Prius does vs. new Volt.

There are rumours about the upcoming plugin hybrid Prius with close to Volt 2.0 electric range. But yeah, 135k for a Prius is a break-in time.

Volt 2.0 rating looks good. I'm curious to see it in person later this autumn at my preferred Chevy dealer and do a road test to feel how different it is from my former 2012 ....

Volt 1.0 was rated AER 60'ish e-km. 80 e-km was doable in the summer, 40 e-km at the worst of the winter. Once the HV battery was depleted, my average was between 5.5 - 7.5 L/100km depends on speed, temperature & terrain.

Is Volt 2.0 also a hatch?  If the Mk II Volvo V40 doesn't make it to North America in 2017/18, the Volt is currently the #1 vehicle to replace the C30...
