...methodology behind the Volt's eye-popping 230-m.p.g. rating, and those of other so-called extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), is still under wraps - though GM and others claim to be using it - and the agency says it can't comment since it has not yet tested the Volt. In the meantime, the Society of Auto Engineers continues to tinker with its new hybrid test protocols.

...first major test would be a one-on-one meeting with North Korean foodstuff factory directors. I had seen enough fully scripted ?ctional performances by the Koreans by now, that I was sure we could pull off our own. Antoine would drill the Koreans with a series of questions about numbers - wages for semi-skilled workers, availability of cocoa, milk and sugar. I would present our marketing proposal.
