Hah! I just noticed this reading your Post article:
Mark Modica was a business manager at a now-closed Saturn dealership in Chalfont, Pa

As far as the Volt...
I know you don't want our cars running on anything but good ol' Saudi crude...keeps the Bush family happy...but your basic misunderstanding of the Volt boggles the mind.
The Volt was not designed to be a mainstream vehicle. It was designed to be a "halo" vehicle. If you want a mainstream vehicle, there's lots of them out there.
