Also make sure your front hubs are unlocked also air up the tires a bit...

Try hand calculation and stop using Wendy's high school calculator. (It's seen better days).

Wendy's little secret... He just thinks that he gets bad gas milage, and that the Volt does so well.

Changed the air filter... To a K&N. The one that was in there was pretty bad and they were out of the paper ones plus there was a $10 mail in rebate on it so I said what the hell. Feels better, but I haven't got on it so I don't know if that's changed at all. I'm pretty unimpressed with the filter and will probably take it back and exchange it for the OEM one. I just really needed to change it and the ******* mangled the OEM one pulling it out. The engine bay was hot as **** or I would have done it myself.
