  1. 22.7 MPG "GM calls the Tahoe/Yukon Hybrid's transmission an electronically variable transmission, which has no fixed gear ratios as in a conventional automatic, nor any belts and pulleys as in a CVT. GM says this hybrid system promises to improve fuel economy 25 percent. That means a Tahoe Hybrid would average about 22.7 mpg. " Read the article here: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Autos...rticleId=108854 YES!!
  2. here's the answer to my own question; about 25% increase with active cylinder management combined with hybrid tech; http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/09/detroit...y-tahoe-hybrid/
  3. Anyone have the details on the Hybrid 2 mode system? MPG?
  4. Where can you get gas for $2.75/gallon? This summer its going to go well past the $3 mark, and with the instability of the middle east and OPEC already producing at 100%capacity, the ethanol requirements boosting prices in the USA, and the refinery capapcity still down 35% after Katrina and Rita, it is not going to get better any time soon. The amount of savings from a hybrid system also depends on whether or not its a true full hybrid, and not the one used in the [i think] Silverado that only boots economy about 15%. I also am not really concerned about the technology, the current (sorry about the pun) state of development for hybrid technology is pretty well worked out.
  5. I want the 07 or 08 Suburban in a Hybrid. Anyone know a timetable for this? I cant' justify buying a non-hybrid Suburban with these crazy gas prices.
