Chevy Volt ready for California HOV access, extra $1,500 in rebates
Author: Jerry Barnes

General Motors Co. said Thursday it has begun shipping low-emission
Chevrolet Volt models to California that qualify for a $1,500 state rebate
and allow drivers to travel in the state's carpool lanes.
GM expects the new qualifications to boost sales of the Volt in its most
important market, and the company will soon begin an advertising and
marketing blitz both to increase sales and further restore the image of its
much-maligned hybrid-electric vehicle.

Good deal. If you buy a new Volt in CA, you can drive in the High
Occupancy Lane with one person. Throw in the state kicking in $1500 and
it's even better. Good thing CA has money to burn.

It's cheaper to pay a rebate on the electric car than to deal with the
pollution from the gasoline and diesel engines. Clean air is a
precious commodity out here.

Well don't you know that all that pollution stuff is really
pseudoscience, just like global warming.

Doesn't electricity come from mostly coal burning power plants?

In Cali it comes from windmill farts.

"Doesn't electricity come from mostly coal burning power plants?"
Sure. In other states. CA can't make their own apparently, or enough.
They need to change the name anyway. It can't be the HOV lane.

Not out here. I've posted links demonstrating that before. Almost
all of the electricity used in Alameda County, where I currently live,
comes from alternative energy sources. Statewide, the most common
fuels are Natural Gas, Hydro and Nuclear. Coal is used, but in
steadily reduced amounts.

It says half of the power comes from out of state coal burning plants.
It also shows that coal is the fastest growing form of energy.

day. Did you even take math?

Wow, why so obnoxious all the time?
I did take math.
Because I took math I know that 72k is much higher than 30k.

Need to get a more efficient car. I just spent $50 on filling up the
Mini. Mind you that will last about a week and a half (35mpg combined
so far).

I generally spend about that much on a fill up here in Chicago...i do that
about 3 - 4 times every 2 weeks. I have an almost 80 mile round trip
commute.

"I just spent $66 to fill up on about 14 gallons. Bummer."
No doubt. I feel your pain.
Interestingly enough, gas consumption in the US continues to fall (seven
straight weeks) and the prices continue to rise.

You're missing the main point. It's okay for other states to pollute their
air for CA's benefit.

That's because gas prices in this country are not based on the usual
dynamic of supply and demand.
the usual culprit blamed for price hikes is "speculation".

Hmm, seems like the Gingrich's answer to $2.50 a gallon is to get rid of Chu.
But is the overall goal to get our price of gasoline down, asked Nunnelee.
No, the overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build
and strengthen our economy, Chu replied. We think that if you
consider all these energy policies, including energy efficiency, we
think that we can go a long way to becoming less dependent on oil and
[diversifying] our supply and well help the American economy and the
American consumers.

I just bought a gently used 2007 BMW 325i with the 3 liter 6 banger.
It only takes 94 octane and costs me $82.00 to fill, which is 60 L, or
about 13 gal.
Lasts me about a week just driving to and from work.
Ouch.

"That's because gas prices in this country are not based on the usual dynamic
of supply and demand."
So true. Interesting that it has happened under
two consecutive administrations ran by opposing parties.
"the usual culprit blamed for price hikes is 'speculation'."
It certainly is the boogey man. I think it goes deeper than that.
Speculation would be easy to fix.
"Gimme a fucking break."
Not at the pump.

My fill ups are $50 on average - will generally last me a couple of weeks.
3-4 weeks if I am only driving to/from work and nowhere else.

It costs me about 30USD to fill my tank. (BMW 320i)
As for fuel consumption in the BMW, the new 2012 328i with the 4 cylinder
twin turbo engine has more power and better mpg than the older models. I
think it's pushing over 245hp with a sub 6 second 0 - 60mph time.

Yeah, they're pretty hot cars. I drove a 2012 X1 with the four banger. Lots
of power but not that awesome low throaty torque sound of the 6.

That's the way I used to feel about my slammed civic. I haven't had a
chance to put this car through it's paces with the summer rubber yet.
Another few weeks and I can take the snows off and start pushing it harder.
Can't wait. Though I can likely blow $80 in a single joy ride. ha.
