You can get a Volt for $0 down and $369/month here in California. With gas at over $4.00/gallon, most people will save $100-$200 per month in fuel costs alone, not to all the mention hidden costs associated with oil.

If you have the least bit of concern about our dependance on oil, it seems like a no-brainer to me.
