Car mile per gallon

There are so many car commercials out there that advertise up to 40 miles per gallon. The average consumer thinks that the car will actually get 40 miles on one gallon of gas. This is far from the truth, To achieve this mpg, the driver will have to drive 55 on the freeway. While keeping the rpms under 3000. I don't know anyone that drives this way in town or even on the freeway. In Reno we have many mountain passes that will force the driver to use more gas to keep speed. Even worse is the New Chevy volt. This car is advertised to get 40 miles on one charge. Many outside testers have gotten between 26 to 76 miles on a fully charged battery. It sucks that these companies can get away with publishing these numbers to the public like they are true facts. With the average commute to work being 45 miles round trip, this car is simply out of the question. Even with these terrible numbers there is still the sticker price for around 40,000 dollars. After government payoffs, down to 33,000 dollars, plus customers will have to buy a charging station for your house. Just the station will cost 3,000 dollars, not including the installation and the testing of the power line in your home and local area. Awesome because many people that live in downtown areas live in apartments or condos, and these places don't have the room and capability for car chargers. Also between 6 and 12 hours for a full charge, I hat waiting 15 minutes for fuel. Can't imagine waiting hours for a charge to get home then charge all night after work. Drive to work and charge at work, where is all this energy coming from, the local coal, nuclear power plants. We are moving the cars exhaust pipe from the bumper to the power plant next to the river.
