For the renewable energy stampede, General Motors Texas graciously lent us a brand spanking new 2010 Hybrid Tahoe. While I didn't have a ton of time to really explore what this vehicle had to offer, I did manage to get 27 miles per gallon out of the Tahoe on the way up to Salado, TX. I found that cruising 65 miles per gallon was keeping the car in Super Atkins Highway Mode getting about 35-40 miles per gallon. However, if I slowed down to 45-50 miles per hour, the tahoe would go into hybrid mode and only achieve about 20-22 miles per gallon.
