22mpg is 22mpg no matter what you drive. Most people in N.America live in cities and their cars rarely if ever see true highway miles so saying you get 45mpg highway doesn't mean ****. If I had the cash I'd drop it on a Tahoe Hybrid in a heart beat, it beats the city mileage in my Grand Am.

Hell, you'll stop for gas less in the Tahoe due to the bigger tank, that means less impulse snacks at the convinence store, better for the environment, better for you as well.
To be objective though, don't forget the sulfur dioxide and acid rain that comes from nickel smelting (mining).

Not hatin, just presenting all the facts.
