Diesel is the only way they are going to do it. And I hate diesels.......so for me to say it........ I will believe it when it gets a diesel engine……not before

Considering most diesel engines under 3.5L get better economy that all hybrids. Diesel is the only way they are going to do it.

Why run on electric only when coasting, stopped, braking, or using excessively low power? It still runs on gasoline most of the time, and the electric motor isn't helping save fuel nearly as much as it could. Electric motors are powerful enough to power the car by itself, so why not reverse it and use gasoline only when necessary. So while I commend Chevy for doing this system with the Volt now, it should have been this way all along.
