The Best Fuel-Efficient Car for You- The Chevy Volt

Cheverolet has decided to build an electric car called the Chevy Volt. Since it will be an electric car, it will not produce greenhouse gas emissions and does not run on gasoline. Many people are ecstatic about this announcement and cannot wait to get their hands on one. Since even the hybrids run on some gasoline, the Chevy Volt will be a welcome reprive. The problem however is the release date. It is a 2010 model, meaning it won’t be released until late next year.
Americans want relief from gas prices immediately; no one would dispute this. Such is the reason I am not one of those people that are anxiously awaiting this vehicle. By the time it is released, gas prices will have decreased to realistic levels ($2.50 or so per gallon). Since the reason for releasing this vehicle is to alleviate pain at the pump, the car will not have as great an impact as it would were it released this year. This is why it comes as a surprise that there is a waitlist (although it cannot be preordered-yet) for this vehicle. Currently, 39,135 are waiting for a Chevy Volt, 683 of whome are from Michigan (http://gm-volt.com/wait-list-data/).
That is an insane amount of people waiting for just one vehicle. General Motors will not be able to meet such a massive demand, so count yourself very lucky indeed if you are able to snag one in another year or so. The advantages of having one are quite obvious. No longer dependent on gasoline, you can merely plug it in at night and wait. I don’t know how many miles it will get on a charge, but I imagine it would be a sufficient amount. The car is supposed to be very aerodynamic and have an equal balance of style and functionality.
But in the meantime, there still are numerous hybrids available on the market. They are of course not as economically and environmentally sufficient as the electric car, but drivers must take what they can get. The hybrids have come down in cost over recent years and there are now many different ones to choose from. They have an appeal that is obvious, and until the Chevy Volt becomes mass produced, they will remain the best choice available.
So, until 2010 rolls around, drivers must continue to do what they are doing: drive less, maintain a constant speed, only travel as fast as necessary and only travel as often as necessary. Everyone must have patience, for soon the addiction to oil will be drastically reduced, and the U.S. will finally have the energy freedom it deserves.
