First, this is not meant to be advertising! I spent the day yesterday (4-23-08) in a 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid. As most know, I work at and manage a Chevy dealership. (Outside of Cathouse) After driving it home, running around town last night and returning to work this morning the average fuel mileage of this vehicle was 25.8 mpg. ( traveled over 100miles combo city/highway) That number is not all that great compared to compact cars, but it is amazing compared to Dee Dee's Tahoe (non-hybrid) she had that got 17mpg at best! We're talking full size SUV here and mpg goes up 33%. (According to the sticker is wasnt suppose to, but it did) Say someone spends $100 a week on fuel, this means $132 or so in savings a month! This particular Hybrid depended of fuel and electricity for propulsion and required no re-charging. It is amazing to me the technology and research that is going on all around us. I read about it all the time, but this is the first time I have really done a real life test/experience so to speak. I think our future will be bright with alternative energy sources. Anyway, as you can tell I was intriqued to say the least.
