Im glad to see that other sedans from the 92-95 make are consistant with their gas mileage. I was really suprised on how good of gas mileage I acually get. Even after adding performance mods, it really hasnt changed

(28city/35hwy)-no hypermiling

if anyone is interested in look them Up, I know there are several different Electric Car makers out there but the 4 biggest ones (the ones with production models set to buy) are:

Zenn Motor Company
Tesla Motors
Pheonix Motorcars
Miles Electric vehicles

GM is soon to be one too.... I heard they were building a cheap electric car for mass production.

I'm not a huge fan of GM in any shape, form, or fashion. They put out and EV back in the mid 90's with crappy AC/delco batteries, probably to make it suck and get people thinking electric cars are junk and keep people with their standard line. Although I would like to see what they have to offer, maybe there was a leadership change in the company and now they'll make a better car. I guess only time will tell

GM is really putting a lot into their VOLT vehicle, they need to do something to get a "green" image. Right now MPGs sell.

Speed sells me. Gas mileage is just an extra. haha

True, speed is lure, BUT as Tesla motors put it. . .why sacrifice performance for efficency? they truly have a hot car!

They sure do, but their vehicle is very expensive, and will always be expensive, even if the technology gets cheaper they are using the Lotus Elise chassis.

you are probably right, the price will probably be up there. However, they are suppose to be releasing their sports sedan which they said will be more affordable for the avarage consumer. The only thing we can really do is cross our fingers

I think the diesel comeback is on its way. How about a Civic turbodiesel? 40 psi of boost on the stock block!!!!
