Oh I understand all of that about hybrids and how worthless they are.

I just don't understand how you can win a fight on estimated figures. There has to be fine print EVERYWHERE on gas mileage that can get them out of anything.

Yeah but there has to be some truth to there mpg estimations, cant just say it gets 100mpg but ppl only can get 40mpg, i mean it has to be close to there claims cant just pull numbers out ur a$$ & other ppl have same issue & 20mpg is a big difference, 5-6 wich is what most cars are off for the avg person is fine but not 20

If someone can spill coffee on their crotch and sue for a million, I bet this lady will get her $10,000. She even emailed them first asking for a trade, but no chuck testa.

The volt can get infinite MPG if only short trips.

Have you drove it? It's a very nice car inside and out. I think the design is far better than the other hybrids out there. Chevy did a nice job

In this day and age people sue for anything. Hot coffee is a good example. I think shes a bit nuts, all the time and money shes going to be spending on a lawsuit she might aswell just forget it, or get another car. and IMO if i had to take a hybrid car, i'd choose a volt, best looking and its american lol.
