Here’s the stats just before the first fill-up of my Volt. A little over 2700 miles on 7 gallons of dealer gas.

Over 1,000 miles down…not quite 3 gallons of gas used.

Thomas the Dragon and Natalie the Monkey at the Trunk or Treat tonight. 

Ok. So the first week with the Chevy Volt is over. It represents an average week. At this point my Impala would need to be filled up with about $55~$60 in gas. The 0.9 gals of gas used this week were all on that first Saturday night when I picked it up from the dealer (they didn’t have it charged). So the last 7 days have been gas free! Full disclosure: I’ve spoke to NV Energy and got on the special hybrid/electric vehicle rate, so this week did cost me $3 in electricity.

Farewell CDM

We had a high profile Novell NetWare to Microsoft Server 2008 migration today. It went very well. Unfortunately it marked the end of my involvement with a group at work that I really enjoyed being a part of. It had been at least 5 years since I’ve looked forward to work as much as I have lately, alas management would rather I perform a different function and I am at their disposal. So I bid the fine members of CDM a fond farewell. I know they are excited to welcome their new member and hope that circumstances allow me to work with them again in the future.
