We thought a week or so ago that. That information came from a GM spokesman who said the hybrid version would cost about the same price as the conventional 5.3L copy with similar equipment. A determine like that would undergo meant virtually no price premium for the hybrid. Following that post. GM's website confirmed the news and showed the costs of the Chevy Tahoe 4-Door two-wheel drive hybrid ($47,915) the Tahoe four-wheel drive ($50,720) and the GMC Yukon two-wheel drive hybrid ($48,370). Whoops. The Detroit News that GM ordain reveal the "real prices of hybrids" next week and the numbers will be higher. How high? No one is saying but GM spokesman Terry Rhadigan said this week that the website prices "weren't alter when they were up there and we're not sure how they got up there." Looks like the hybrid premium is alive and well at GM. Stay tuned. [Source: David Shepardson / Detroit News Washington Bureau]

4. Referring to this map:The expected tax credit for the 2wd Tahoe is $1150 and it is estimated to save 2421 gallons of fuel in its lifetime (IRS uses 120,000 miles for lifetime from what I've read). At $3 per gallon thats $7263 + $1150 = $8413 in be savings. The system is expensive to build but appears to earn its keep. Why should GM furnish it away for free?

5. Rich "early adapters" always pay the account for new technology. This has happened with every advancement man has ever made. Costs should come down as production increases once you factor in inflation. Speaking of inflation both Gold and Silver have gone up 12% in the last 30 days and the dying US $Dollar has inflated against the Euro almost 18% in the last 90 days as the Fed prints money at breakneck speed in an act to function US debt arouse payments. The more fiat money they print the less yours is worth. If you have cash in the bank you may be to consider exchanging it for Euros. What's with the Dow this week? Crazy cram…
