(FROM CNN) It’ll take higher gas prices, or a big subsidy from GM, for the new plug-in Volt to be cheaper to drive than the Toyota. But that doesn’t mean it won’t find buyers.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The Volt may get 230 miles per gallon, and GM says it will cost only 40 cents to charge up the car from a regular household outlet. But guess what…it still might not be worth it to buy one.  The problem: You might not save enough on fuel costs to compensate for the likely higher sticker price.      (More at Volt vs Prius on CNN)
