Just watch a Denali or Silverado commercial today,you'll get the idea.
And watch how today,they're still attempting to kill California's home-rule,rather than just build more efficient vehicles for everybody.A two-faced Janus if there ever was one.
back in 08 they worked very hard NON gas guzzling SUV I mean i get 31MPG (25 MPG combined) highway with a Tahoe hybrid 6.0L v8 that is the same as a 2008 v6 2.4L Camey...


That is with a 11 years old worn out battery..

the previous year
>1998 Tahoe was 0.65+ square brick
2006 Tahoe was 0.45
2007-2014 Tahoe was 0.367
2008-2013 Hybrid trim only was 0.34 same as a Geo Metro.

the 2008 rear end enhancements help it's similar to the 2015 model

the front end being more flat-ish



no progress made my ass..


so from 1998 to 2007/2008* *0.34 ---2008 hybrid trim
it went from 0.65 to 0.367



0.34 standard in 2015 .
