1% to Regen braking (Hybrid Function)
4.5% to Engine/Trans/Driveline optimizations (some of this is also in ECM programming)
0.5% to Aerodynamic modifications
That means that 5% of the fuel economy comes from the actual Hybrid strategy. The question I have: Why doesn't GM incorporate the other 7% benefits to the conventional Malibu/Aura/VUE?  |
The list adds up to 16.5% not 12%?
