I applaud GM for their efforts with the 2 mode Tahoe I really do, its amazing ( or a discrace, depending how you look at it) that it gets the same or better city MPG than some of GM's midsize cars. However I think they are missing the automobile demographic (and there for sales) that is affected the most by high gas prices. People dropping 50k on a new vehicle are not worried to much(yet) about high gas prices.

In addition, the problem of higher gas prices isn't just about the fuel. It's MONEY!
If my fuel costs are up by, say $2000 a year, then my next vehicle needs to save me that money. I could get a vehicle that will use less fuel, thus saving that money.
Or, I could get a vehicle that costs $2000 less. Same net result.
Getting a vehicle that saves me $2000 in gas, but costs that much (or even more) isn't a savings. That approach isn't "efficient".
