If a typical Volt owner drives 8,000 city miles per year (on battery power) and 8,000 highway miles per year (at 40 mi/gal), it'll consume 200 gallons of gasoline.
What possible scenario justifies either installing a more-expensive Diesel engine, or developing multiple powertrain options for a limited-production vehicle?
