Fraud at Government Motors

The Chevy Volt was going to save the planet and save GM too.
The Chevy Volt was going to be all electric with a small gas engine to recharge the batteries on the fly.
The Chevy Volt was supposed to get 230mpg.
The press finally got to try the Volt out and they found a few things were changed.
230mpg?
Nope! It gets less than 45mpg on engine only city driving.
Small engine?
Nope! The engine runs the front wheels over 70mph and cannot charge the batteries at the same time.

So a $41K (hybrid, not electric) car that is only that cheap with a $7.5K taxpayer subsidy that gets worse mileage than the Prius is what we get when the Government runs the company?
