Yes, needs a gentle foot but often achieved. Checkout SpeakEV forum in the Volt/Ampera section.I've achieved 48 miles which includes city driving.

Are you sure about that number? That would be equivalent to the Leaf regularly getting about 120 miles on a charge. Probably possible on a flat road, no stops, at 40mph but not possible for regular driving.
