I get 20 -24 mpg in my 2004 silverado with 5.3 4x4 cause of the 6 speed and the aluminum in the drivetrain. I also drive like a granny when I want to go fast I hop on my motorcycle.

@EpiDemic117 Agree. I was looking a 2006 GMC sierra hybrid product and it got only 16.9 MPG only about 1MPG better then my non hybrid truck. I rarely if ever see GM hybrid truck/SUV on the road. $40,000+ SUV/Truck and can only tow 6,000 lbs these POS vehicles are way overpriced and don't live up to what the commercials say. imo
I would never spend my money on these hybrid products.

@watso64 Not even hyped. Hyped towards failure. 8 months later and this truck still isn't' selling for shit! hahaha.I know a product when i see it being able to sell or not even before it is released. And this thing doesn't have any market potential.

@EpiDemic117 agree. Hybrids trucks are a total waste of money. Also way over-hyped

@mjc2247 WOW I have a 01 and get about 16 MPG and thats with 150,000 miles.I also know other ppl that also have newer GM trucks and get worst MPG then past trucks. GM's current advertising is false info based on their vehicle of the past. I won't be purchasing another GM product anytime soon.

We purchased a 2007 Silverado because of the increased mpg. We have yet to get more than 15 mpg. 13 mpg is the norm. I am really tired of the false advertising. We got 17 mpg with our 1997 Silverado. This is not even close to being the truck the 97 was.

The EV1 is a totally different debate. Hybrids are not just meant for small cars. There are now hybrid city buses. The Hybrid concept is basically to recapture braking energy that would otherwise go to waste as heat. Then reuse that energy to get the vehicle moving. Size is on a factor in that the components need to be scaled up.
Improving mileage of low mileage trucks will actually save more gas than improving mileage of higher mileage cars. The only downside is the cost.
