Chevy Volts Felix Kramer Got On The Road: 3 More
Ron and I both are feeling this amazing moment — and comparing notes, we agree it feels unreal that we are actually driving real production plug-in vehicles.

Even without signs on the cars, people notice them and are giving us thumbs up on the highways (as happened when there were only a handful of hybrids on the road) Our son was trailed by a highway patrolman who wanted to talk about the car. Andy Frank says it’s “exactly as I had anticipated it would operate. It’s like driving my dream.” See below for links to media and photos of our celebration; amazing uptake on our Victory essay, and some new good news from GM. Enjoy your holidays!

The EcoBoost truck engine was a total success in terms of fuel economy as well. The race truck can hold 65 gallons of fuel, with the strategy to carry about 30 gallons of fuel during a given stint to save weight and to save time during fuel stops. The EcoBoost race truck ran the entire race on regular fuel, unlike other competitors who used more expensive specially blended fuels.
