That's a good perspective Vman it unveils the usefulness of hybridizing the full size SUV's.
at $4 at gallon it works out to $4884. dollars in fuel saved in that time.
Over the life time that would add up , 400,000 miles would be $18,000
I am curious how much more expensive the hybrid is over the standard Tahoe..
