Premium Pilot
Mine runs off bat crap .I was stopped at a station one time and some collage kids passed me but they just gave me the finger !
That's the reason the EV companies recommend premium fuel.
I only burn 93+. In the Twin Turbo I had I ran 106. Nothing to do w fuel grade. Ethanol is just bad. Mixing a process'd carbon based product with a processed "food" is just wrong. I've at any times have 3-4 "classics" and even new super cars and very particular about ethanol. To the point I store my chainsaw, power washer, leaf blower empty as ethanol will destroy literally the gas lines in small engine devices.
Your wife's co-worker isn't real bright. The fuel doesn't like sitting around for that long. She's gonna be sorry one of these days when she needs the engine. Ya might want to pass that one on.
Actually, the Volt cycles the combustion engine periodically so this doesn't happen. Until battery tech improves, the Volt gives you the best of both worlds-- long range and EV efficiency. It's a good compromise.
Nothing like straight blacktop and high octane dino juice eh !! Nice wheels broIs this close enough? ( and yeah, it's got a HEMI )
Does anyone here drive an EV or Plug-in Hybrid car? we're thinking of buying one and I would like some feedback.
Where are you located? Any snow or sub-zero days?We have owned a Chevy Volt for about a year now.
Used it for short and long distance driving. Great car, will buy another one.
The Spyder looks cool as an alternative to a motorcycle, but I am replacing my wife's commute car. We do have winters here in New England. I agree that the Volt (and other electrics) is overpriced because the manufacturers are not spreading the design, engineering and production costs across their entire fleet as they do with other models. The Volt fleet is a completely separate unit from the rest of the Chevrolet fleet.
I haven't been able to see a Leaf in New England as they are only sold by special order. I just got back from Spain, and they are very common there, but there was no time to inquire about them.

I really didn't see a location in his sig which is why I asked.
Blame jet lag - I just returned from Spain yesterday.
