Another GM good idea that looked good on paper.
This was from back in the day when GM just thought people wanted a hybrid badge on their vehicle to be cool and didn't actually care about fuel mileage.
If I remember right the real world driving showed the same or less highway milage as the non hybrid and most of the city mileage improvement was attributed to the auto start/stop tech.
