@gabbogabbo It may reduce rolling resistance but it will ruin your tires. You go by what it says on the driver side door jam. The PSI on the side of the tire is the maximum pressure to put in the tire.

I've seen 2 Chevy Volts in the last week. It's getting more popular.

I recommend switching to 100% Nitrogen instead of regular Oxygen (which is 20% Oxygen 80% Nitrogen) when filling your tires. This will maintain a more consistent tire Pressure because when a tire gets warm, or when the temp outside gets cold or hot due to the seasons, the regular Oxygen in the tire will expand or contract with the change in temp. Nitrogen does not expand or contract with temp change so it will maintain its pressure and give a slightly firmer ride which increases handling.

Great work!!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! That is a cool feature for the Chevy Volt.

15-20 years down the road when all the electronic gadgetry fails the car is going to be as useless as boobies made of fat on an old man What we need is a modern day Model T or VW. I'd advise getting the factory service manual. With it any independent mechanic, worthy of the tile could keep it repaired Even yourself if you have much mechanical aptitude at all, with the right attitude.

I was going to get an electric car as a daily driver since work drive is 15 miles round. It just does not pay to do this YET bc we have fairly efficient cars already. Prius Scion Xb the prius the way the wife drives it gets 40 mpg xb~30 IDK i really don;t measure it I just drive it as softly as I possibley can. I love playing with the fuel economy comparitors on fueleconomyDOTgov it really shows the wealth we give away LOOKING cool. Our use a 100 mile daily driver would be a good fit.

Go with the tire side wall psi, it is usually around 40 to 45 or so. I run that in my car and it really does improve efficience!

[gaiagale]

WOW ...all the bells and whistles ...I agree with a previous comment from Veikra that this vehicle is more geared to consumerism that citizens making new choices for a smaller footprint

that aside I also agree with MsPeakOil "tire pressure for each tire is key for fuel economy."in that we would be wise to be checking our tires regularly interms of any vehicle that we drive

[GuruMN]

I'd add more tire pressure to those tires. At least sidewall max all around. ...or at least in the front and have it proportionately pressured for the rear tires based on the front/rear weight ratio of the car. Rolling resistance can be largely reduced with higher tire pressure. Try a coast down with your tires at 44psi or whatever sidewall is and compare it to 38psi. You will not go back.
