Chevy Volt can put an extra $1,450 in your pocket every year!

Here's something that may jolt you: since its launch in late 2010, Chevrolet Volt owners have accumulated more than half a billion all-electric miles! 

With environmental responsibility becoming a concern for more and more car owners, Chevy fans have looked to the Volt for conscientious driving and lower gasoline consumption. Based on a General Motors’ study of more than 300 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about 15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range.


"The fact that most of the folks who purchased the Volt at launch are still enjoying EV range performance on target with when they took delivery is testament to the attention to detail our team paid to delivering on our promise of most people driving all electrically most of the time," said Pam Fletcher, Chevrolet Volt executive chief engineer.

Volt fans are getting their money's worth while helping the planet out. Owners who regularly charge their Volt generally fill up on fuel less than once a month and drive more than 970 miles -- nearly the distance between Los Angeles and Seattle! -- between gas station visits. The 2014 Volt gets an EPA-estimated 98 MPGe (electric) and 35 city/40 highway on gasoline power -- that's a savings of $1,450 in annual fuel costs with no change in daily driving habits!

See the car so many fans are raving about. Test-drive the 2014 Chevrolet Volt at Jim Butler Chevrolet locations throughout St. Louis. Let the #1 Chevy dealer in St. Louis help you start seeing green by being green!

Chevrolet Traverse named in Best Family Cars

Safety is one of the most important aspects of choosing a family car, and the Chevrolet Traverse has proven once again that it's one of the safest available.

Edmunds.com and Parents magazine recently named the Chevrolet Traverse to its list of best family cars -- the second consecutive year that the Traverse received the honor. In determining the list, Edmunds.com and Parents considered safety, efficiency, value and style -- aspects that also are important here at the #1 Chevy dealer in St. Louis.

















The Chevrolet Traverse offers the segment’s only front center air bag, which provides added protection for both front occupants in side-impact crashes. The Traverse also offers advanced crash-avoidance technologies, including forward collision alert and sensors to alert the driver with visual cues on the dashboard.
"Chevrolet is honored that the Traverse is recognized for the second consecutive year by the experts at Edmunds.com and Parents," said Steve Majoros, marketing director of Chevrolet cars and crossovers. "Traverse’s winning combination blends the capability and roominess of a traditional SUV with the attributes of a crossover, including a car-like driving experience, low step-in height and good efficiency on the highway."
And parents can continue to rest easy. The Edmunds.com/Parents honor comes on the heels of the Traverse being named one of Kelley Blue Book’s 12 Best Family Cars for 2014.

Schedule a test-drive of the Chevrolet Traverse at Jim Butler Chevrolet today.
