Replying to: stevedebi (Apr 28, 2008 12:29 pm) on my old 2004 V6 200 hp Malibu, anyone who is looking for a great used car with great highway mileage get your hands on the V6 200 hp Malibu you will not be disapointed whats so ever. Just dont get it for city driving it averaged 15 to 16 mpg. My car had the trip computer take one for test ride on a highyway and set the computer within 10 miles you will be in the 30's I also use to check the gas mileage manually and it was the same

Replying to: packer3 (May 03, 2008 6:49 am) I was being tongue-in-cheek; anyone considering a vehicle should think about what kind of miles they will use. If 80-90% of the miles are in the city, then a hybrid may be the right choice. If most of your miles are on the highway, other vehicles may be the best choice. Most of my miles are in the city, so my Ford Escape Hybrid was a good choice for me.

Replying to: mickeyrom (May 05, 2008 8:40 am) It depends upon whether or not the Prius is a large enough car. The Prius was too small for my purposes. If you just need transportation, a Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris can produce high 30's MPG, and cost many thousands less than a Civic hybrid or a Prius. |

Replying to: fshi (Jan 31, 2008 7:27 am) Someone was talking about how GM is targeting the segment where people consume more fuel i.e. larger SUV's. How their contribution will have more impact than that of the Pruis. Any sales to report for GM hybrids? I did see someone post how they ordered a Tahoe Hybrid at MSRP.  They were commenting on how they didn't have to pay any dealer mark up for a dinasour (non hybrid) that is easily purchased for 10k under MSRP. I think GM will spend alot more on promoting their commitment to being green then they will on the technology itself. And the sales, or lack of, of their hybrids is proof enough. It's a desperate ploy for a company on it's knees imo. There's a waiting list for the Prius once again. Who's waiting to buy a GM hybrid?

Replying to: aspesisteve (Jun 02, 2008 9:54 am) Presently the Malibu Hybrid is a 'mild' hybrid, which is another way of saying what aspesisteve did, that it is an excuse for GM to promote their commitment to being green without actually having to provide the technology. However, if GM adapted the 2-stage to the Malibu, I think they might have a mainstream car that could actually make a real difference. |

General Motors put their better more sophisticated 2 mode hybrid system that is being strapped on the Tahoe into the Malibu? It would be interesting to see what they could get in milege here. |
