Heck the GMC Yukon Hybrid, with a gorilla V8, can get better gas mileage than the VUE Green Line.

GM got around to installing the 2-mode hybrid system (same as the GMC Yukon/Chevy Tahoe) into the VUE Green Line. We are testing the Saturn later this month and will report back our fuel economy numbers.

Took the car in only to have them “test” it and they “claim” it gets 24-25 MPG. With an 18 gallon tanks that means I should get 432-450 miles on a tank, I have not broken 305, which is 17 MPG. Other than losing $20-$30 per fill up (@$4.25 pr gallon) it’s a nice car, but to call it a Hybrid is a Lie!
