| Additional Features | Kudos to Chevrolet Engineering on this car! Driving is a pleasure, car is quiet and solid. Acceleration is nearly silent but surges with enough pedal, and is unexpectedly quick in Sport mode. Extensive instrumentation on two displays. Showing the battery range and gasoline range, kW power flow in and out of the battery. Regenerative breaking(and coasting)can add quite a few miles to a charge, often 10 extra miles on a "40" mile charge. 7/16/14 - Just completed the first year with this car and have about 14,000 miles on it. It has used 94.1 gallons of gas and shows a lifetime avg of 145 MPG. | ||||||
