Is the GM Volt mileage claim legit? | Green Tech - CNET News

Is the GM Volt mileage claim legit? | Green Tech - CNET News: "In the EPA model GM has followed, those first 40 miles equate to 'infinite mileage,' since it was charged from the grid and no gasoline was burned. But to consider electricity as infinite fuel efficiency can be misleading given that some energy--be it coal, natural gas, or nuclear--went into the delivery of electricity to charge the batteries."

So then the Tesla gets an infinite number of miles per gallon! :-/
