selling my '12 4.6

[hchon]

i've recently begun commuting ~40 mi. each way daily and although gas mileage-wise, i am getting somewhere around 25-26 mpg and very happy with it, i just can't say no to driving on HOV lane alone and am going to lease a chevy volt. i am selling the genesis to carmax in norcal. beautiful car and i was very happy with it, but the temptation of HOV lane just is too strong.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Several of us could arrange a small memorial service.

We thought about a Volt. You can get a Jetta TDI for half the price. Our MPG is consistently 44-45 on the freeway

We need to buy a car for my wife and the Jetta would be higher on my short list of choices (right now #1 is Ford Fusion Hybrid, #2 is Hyundai Sonata Hybrid), but I am a bit nervous about the reliability. How's yours been?

No problems thus far. Have already put 15k miles on it in 6 months.

The Volt is not for bigger guys.. I sat in one and it felt like I had a applied a body-painting.. it was that "snug" on me..

i am sure jetta is a nice car, but my goal is not to save gas/fuel. it is the ability to drive in HOV lane by myself. jetta can't do that. volt can.

maybe true. i am not a small guy, either, and i've had volt for three days now and although it felt snug at first, i think i am getting used to it.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to pay the HOV fines and pay the few hundred dollars a year in difference in cost of gas than to buy a Volt?

you are kidding, right? HOV violation starts at $481.

and gas? i think i used about $5 worth of gas. that's ~350 miles of driving.
