I took delivery of a 2018 Chevy Volt on 8/11/18. This morning I received a diagnostic report from OnStar. Thought some may find it interesting:

Following up with some cost data and MPG data.
Gas used in 876 miles = 22.197 gal. MPG = 39.46479
Gas cost = $75.09 or $3.3839 per gallon (Hey, I live in California)
Gas cost per mile = $.0857
Electric miles = 1728
KW used for 1728 miles @ 33/100 miles = 570.4 KW
Cost under current EV rate plan for 1728 miles = $89.02
Cost per electric mile = $.05152
Average fuel cost for 2604 miles = ($89.02 + $75.09) = $164.11
Average total fuel cost/mile for 2604 = $.063
Not trying to "convert" anyone. Just my first batch of cost to operate. Thought some of you may find it interesting.
