Once again Consumer Reports and mini14 are completely full of shit.
"Consumer Reports drove the Volt at its test track in Connecticut under the coldest temperatures this winter, and Champion acknowledged that car may perform better in temperate climates and in more city-like conditions."
And still it performed within the nominal range given by GM. Your gasoline powered car gets worse mileage on the coldest days too. CR, try driving the car in the urban environment for which it was designed, not doing laps on your test track. And account for factors such as cold temperatures in your testing methodology, duh!
