So I have had my Ampera for one month now, covered 1906 miles, and used 85 litres of fuel, for an average of 101 mpg!
Pretty happy at that. The last week of only short electric only journeys has certainly helped to boost that.
No unexpected quirks yet, although I would love to hack the software that controls the engine, so that I can control the revs, as I often find it engages the engine at high revs, just before stopping, or hitting a descent, at which point it turns it straight off !
I wonder if anyone in the US has tried it on the Volt yet....
As an aside I have only been using standard unleaded. Might try 'super' in the next tank to see if heart at boosts the mpg on petrol.
Joining the 50 mile club in my first month is pretty cool too
