Houston Cars

The US Federal Government gives each new hybrid a tax credit of varying amounts - depending on a number of factors.  House Resolution 6899 contained a sneaky little provision granting purchases of the Chevy Volt a whopping $5,000 tax credit.  That is, to my knowledge, the largest tax credit available for any vehicle.  I personally would have liked to see it even higher - I badly want the Volt to succeed.   However, the Feds just gave the American public five thousand great reasons to buy a Volt.  Score one for GM.
