The Volt should cost less than 2 cents per mile to drive on electricity, GM said, compared to 12 cents a mile on gasoline at a price of $3.60 a gallon.

There is a bit of a catch on this one.  It can run 40 miles on a charge. After that, a gas-powered generator turns on, which can take it another 400 miles on a tank. While it uses gas to generate, the car is truly an electric car. The gas tank and generator are sort of like a large battery.
