BI-WEEKLY $ streets, two-lane highways and super highways. Staring the Tahoe Hybrid does not mean the typical rush of the gasoline engine churning into life, but it comes to life with more of a bump as the 300-volt battery kicks everything into life. Driving down to London, to help my daughter move out of university residence, I found that if I set the cruise at 100 km/h it would easily stay at V4 operation and gave me 9-11L/100 km at around 1,500 rpm. At 80 km/k on a lesser highway I saw 8L/100 km at 1,300 rpm. The longest I went on full battery was 12 km on a gravel road at 40 km/h And the end of my journey I had covered 672.5 km, used 86.1L of gas and my average was down to 13.1L/100 km. According to Energuide Canada the Tahoe Hybrid has a fuel rating of 10.5L/100 km (27 mpg) city and 9.8L/100 km (29 mpg) highway so I was pretty close. Filling the tank back up cost $113.93. Yikes you say, but consider this. Assuming I had the truck from new and assuming I worked at maximizing fuel economy, at $1.20/litre (the day I drove it) on the highway cruising at 10L/100 km 100 means it cost me $12 to go 100 km. If I was doing 17L/100 km it would have cost $20 ($20.40 actually) to go 100 km. So over the entire trip, I saved $8 every 100 km or about $53. Add that up over 10 years and it's something to think about. So to answer the question, can you have your full-size SUV cake and eat it too, the answer is not yet, but the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is on the right road. mercedes-benz.ca/c 191 2007 HYUNDAI TUCSON GL V6 Power group, leather, one owner, Aqua Silver, air, automatic, 27,000 km.
