1542 MPG! that's fantastic, made my day, I'll file that one away from the ObamaVolt bashers. The more people who understand that this is possible, the better! You just have to keep repeating it, over and over. If it takes a lot to get EV owners to get this, it only goes to show ICE drivers need it emphasized even more. PHEV offer the single car owner a way to drastically curb their gas consumption, virtually eliminate it without being range limited. What the media has done to the Volt verges on criminal. when the main stream finally comes around, they will be pissed they were misled for so long. "Go tell it on the mountain" people!!!
If there were a highlander sized SUV version, we'd have that as our second car. For now the Leaf meets our primary car needs.

You'd have a point but for the fact there is a web site that lists 500 people, some with similar stats (pulled from the car), and the fact that we know the Prius can't do that.
Since we know at least one person has driven the Volt 16,000 miles and has gotten an MPG number of 1542, which is 30x better than your Prius, what's so unbelievable about his claim? Arguing with data from 3 million miles of real world driving seems strained. (Admittedly getting 1542 MPG when driving 16,000 miles in a year seems tough to do, but somebody has done it).
