On level urban highways our 4WD Hybrid's trip computer showed 20.3 mpg, around town without any gridlock or jams, it showed 16.5, and in a mixed, relaxed drive it recorded 19.8 mpg (the gas pump and GPS backed up these numbers). When we drove a similarly-lux non-hybrid 5.3-liter with the six-speed automatic in the same places, conditions, speeds and times, it bettered the Hybrid on the highway at 21.2 mpg, did 13.3 around town and the mixed route at 17.7.
The Hybrid is ideal for people who spend all week plodding around in a city but take the family and a 4500-pound trailer out on a weekend. Without the city use the XFE or standard Tahoe will serve as well, and if you don't tow a trailer a minivan or larger crossover will have more room, drive more comfortably, offer the higher seating position, be just as safe, and get better mileage. Given our test results and the fact that the Hybrid has a slightly smaller fuel tank, long-distance cruising range might be better on a non-Hybrid.
Since our nearest E85 station needs most of a fuel tank to make a round trip to we did not have an opportunity to test on E85. We've found no reason to doubt the 25-percent decrease in mileage reflected in EPA figures and expect performance to be at least as good as the gasoline engines.?Chevrolet
