Chevrolet Tahoe Green Car of the Year
The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid has been named the 2008 Green Car of the year by greencar.com. This is a huge accomplishment in the area of automobiles. We all know that SUV are huge consumers of gas. The less fuel that an automobile will use during it its’ lifetime is good for the environment and for the wallet.
According to the EPA’s 2008 estimated fuel economy ratings, Chevrolet’s achievement is even more apparent during city driving where a large percentage of SUVs spend their time every day. In this environment, the 6.0-liter two-mode hybrid Tahoe achieves 50 percent better fuel economy than a Tahoe powered by a standard 5.3-liter V-8. What’s equally eye-opening is that the Tahoe’s 21 mpg city fuel efficiency rating is the same as that of the city EPA rating for the four-cylinder Toyota Camry sedan.
