Bob Tanner isn’t the kind of guy who’d revel in someone else’s pain. But as fuel prices soar across the country, Tanner admits it feels good to pocket an extra $200 a month while his friends helplessly watch their fuel bills soar. Thanks to his Chevrolet Volt.
Tanner, who served twice in Iraq as a Marine, has recently joined a growing army of money-saving Chevrolet Volt owners who are turning friends and acquaintances into believers. Since trading in his old vehicle for a Chevrolet Volt in December, Bob Tanner has cut his monthly commuting costs by two-thirds: from $300 to under $100 by charging nightly. The savings will come in handy given that he and his wife, Melissa, are expecting their second son in May.
Tanner’s leased 2012 Volt is about to graduate from its own “boot camp” with high honors. Over his first 3,160 miles, he has averaged 94 miles per gallon of gas used. And the Volt’s quick acceleration has been extremely helpful when Tanner needs to merge onto New Jersey’s notoriously unforgiving freeways.
