I was just reading about the new hybrid SUV's that are about to hit the market. The Dodge Durango typically gets 14 mpg, and the hybrid version MIGHT get 18 or 19 mpg (The keyword there is MIGHT). I love the marketing dogma that is used to mislead car buyers: Both companies say that their full-size SUV hybrid models will be up to 25 percent more fuel-efficient, putting them in the ballpark of 20 miles per gallon combined city and highway. The phrases "up to 25% more efficient" and "in the ballpark of 20 mpg" are very misleading. This seems like a lot of lip service with little or no benefit just for the sake of jumping on the hybrid/Green bandwagon. http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024899 <http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024899&topart=utes> &topart=utes _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
