Here is a rough shortcut formula that can be applied to every hybrid on the road. It turns out that it's about the same for every one of the hybrids excet the 'mild' variety.

Take any non-hybrid vehicle's EPA ratings, Tahoe for example, ....
City 14 mpg ....... add 50-60% to this number = 21 mpg
Highway 18 mpg.. add 10% to this number = 20 mpg
That's the hybrid numbers..

Acadia???? Ford, Toyota, Honda, GM, Nissan... it's the same for them all.
