I just noticed that my Android is now reporting 2 gallons left in the tank from the 3 I put in back in August. Dash reports 14.6 gallons burned since new.

After 13 months I finally had to use the gas the dealer put in. The Volt is programmed to keep track of the average age of the fuel in the tank, and will normally make you use gas that is 12 months old. I made it to 13 months because the dealer added a few gallons when I took it in for some updates. So after a year I had used gas for about 40 miles out of around 7000 total miles. Now (2-1-13) I am at 407 miles on gas out of 11,000 miles after burning the full tank at 13 months. I only put 3 gallons in, and expect to have that last until it is stale sometime in July '13.

Still no fuel added. Now at 5910.95 miles. Odometer reports 1.6 gallons used. When new it reported 0.6 gallons used in the first mile. It had 5 miles showing then. So I have used 1.0 gallons so far, and gone about 35 miles on that gallon.
