I don't think that cost saving for 'you' is a main driver. (from the government perspective) While in use the CFL's use less electricity for the same amount of light generated.
If they lasted the same as incandescents and cost 10 times a much there still would be less energy consumed. (unless the manufacture process used that much more energy.
I've had a number of CFL's last a very long time in lights where incandescents burned out frequently.
The 230 takes advantage of tests set up with Gasoline only in mind. Other tests will eventually be devised to reflect the true performance of the Volt.
Your attempt to classify the handling of the Volt as a 'marketing fiasco'.... Fail
I can't remember the source now, but I remember reading that the Volt won't automatically fully recharge on gasoline (though I'd assume that is an option) as the recharge by plugging in is cheaper.

It was not immediately clear how GM reached the 230 mpg in city driving, but industry officials estimated the automaker's calculation took into consideration the Volt traveling 40 miles on the electric battery and then achieving about 50 mpg when the engine kicked in.
