Why doesn't GM put the lighter tailgate, seats ,etc. in the non Hybrids to slightly boost the mileage of those vehicles, then lower them and inch or so to get a smaller frontal area?
i'm sure hwy mileage would go up 1mpg to equal the Hybrid's hwy mileage.

........but then people would stop buying the Hybrids.........Nevermind.
