Chevy Volt Gets Equivalent of Up to 93 Mpg

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Motors announced Wednesday that its Chevrolet Volt can get the equivalent of 93 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving while powered by electricity.

On gas and electric, the car will get 60 mpg -- maybe.

Because of the complexity of how the Volt runs -- it's powered by electricity, gas or a combination of both -- its fuel economy depends on how it's driven. The Volt's fuel economy sticker, which looks different from labels before it, was created by GM and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is intended to help drivers "understand what to expect when they drive the Volt," said the company in a press release. "Before plug-in cars like the Volt, calculating fuel economy was simply a matter of filling the tank with fuel, driving the vehicle and dividing the distance by the amount of fuel consumed."
