That sounds like a good idea. Its probably going to be necessary with Café anyway. I would like to see them come out with a Diesel/Two Mode system.

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.

Thanks for that, its interesting to see how much fuel a hybrid system will save as far as fuel goes. Yes though the Lambda's really could use a two mode system even though they get decent fuel economy for their size.
