200 MPG Fish Tales

Copyright (c) 2009 PATENTWORKS LLC

Everybody knows;the fishermen have never catch data. in other cases, they are able to embellish their stories only slightly.

The automotive industry has detected, that customers can have high mileage figures enticed.The media has joined the energy saving cars enthusiasm. [1] [2] all of a sudden we read mileage claims vis-à-vis, starting with 60 MPG just around the corner from the famous Madrid claims 200 MPG by 300 MPG. Miles per gallon or MPG should be a number that car buyers use to assess with any degree of certainty in the future of the fuel and energy costs prior to the purchase of a car.

GM recently announced its new VOLT electric car will receive 230 MPG. WHOA! How can we know how much is the highlight, and how much is real?

But first you must understand, VOLT is a hybrid! When looking at driving costs, users must understand that they must pay the energy in the form of electricity or petrol. The following comparisons assume that electricity costs are $ 0.11/kWh, when attached to the receptacle used to recover at home and gasoline to pay $ 2.50 per gallon at the pump.

GM has yet to be found in the how much petrol and how much electricity the car consumes when driving 230 miles. [1] [2] we have guessed. Mileage figure 230 MPG can be achieved only when the car uses only one gallon for the carriage of 230 miles. GM says VOLT is a region of the forty Miles when you use only the batteries.Media reports indicate that the VOLT is also a 1.4-litre petrol powered electric generator gives you the benefit of THE GM ... no doubt can we assume that the VOLT reaches 50 MPG, when driving in the petrol roads, 55 miles per hour.

Now we calculate the VOLT optimally achieved mileage.VOLT is to drive 180 miles from the batteries and 50 miles to reach the levels higher than those specified in the mileage on the roads of the gasoline. Only in this best of all cases is it possible to use only a gallon of gasoline for the carriage of 230 miles VOLT! In addition, the VOLT is not recharged at least once at home and four times the reload 230 miles from home when traveling drives you have.

GM says that the cost is $ driving VOLT 100 miles to 11% of the electricity cost per kWh/2.75. Petrol is 50 MPG energy comparable would cost $ 5.00 per 100 miles, so long as the gasoline pump, pay $ 2.50.

The global transfer of VOLT batteries to pay much more than 11%/kWh. (kWh/kWh of electrical unit is reduced). Does not appear in the status of the owner of the book to buy expensive equipment and provide without recharging the fair Kate recharging take several parking spaces for guests.Let us hope that the electricity price in order to strengthen the position of the motorway is not more than 17 cents/kWh.

Transfer-VOLT batteries, with a storage capacity of 16, then the cost of $ 2 per kWh. 72 road. According to THE GM VOLT can move about 40 nautical miles, a fully charged battery.100 Miles for driving the cost is $ 6.80 respectively.While driving the cost of gasoline is $ 10.00.Directions to pay/100 miles from a $ 3.20.

In the run up to 100 000 miles VOLT save $ 3,200 energy costs while driving on the roads.VOLT save much more energy when only capable of being recharged at home.Energy costs for running the electricity delivered exclusively home is $ 4.40 per 100 miles when using the 16 kWh battery and receive 40 nautical miles per charge.

$ 4.40 Per 100 miles of driving the calculated costs are considerably higher than 2.75 $ 100 miles GM deal. [1] [2], it seems that the GM VOLT is explained in more detail on the performance.

Most importantly 230 MPG notified mileage is fish tale, and requires a very long time, a comprehensive and complex explanation. Ruse to sell hybrids. Consumers is closed is easier to understand about the forecasts for the cost of. 230 MPG driving the figure is misleading!
