Their products have been improving over the last couple of years. <br /> <br />I am very interested in the Chevrolet Volt concept...read my 7/29 post. Also, 2010 Chevrolet Equinox post on 7/28 showed a 21/30 EPA rating without use of a hybrid or dieselPeter Bacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269735128875798498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779185116189352540.post-46144979756183156292009-08-27T18:52:06.475-07:002009-08-27T18:52:06.475-07:00Peter, it would seem to me that, GM has been short...Peter, it would seem to me that, GM has been short sighted when it comes to hybrids.. I have a 2008 Vue hybrid, (which isnt really a hybrid) however running 40lbs psi in my tires, I get consistently 25mpg in the city and 32+ on the highway, with a 3800 lb car. Why can they use same system (or the two mode) hook it to a 4 cyl with a 6 or 7 speed transmission, cut the weight and produce a vechile Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779185116189352540.post-55585142830838320142009-07-08T23:57:23.178-07:002009-07-08T23:57:23.178-07:00Hi Anonymous,

It may not be good for both again this year.
