2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid

This is the2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid AWD.

It does 20mpg in the city (that's 24 mpg to the UK gallon)
And a whopping 20mpg (24mpg UK) on the highway

Choose the 2WD and you can get 21mpg highway (25.2mpg UK)

I couldn't tell you what it's CO2 emissions are... mainly because nobody lists them here. Hybrid here is about MPG and nothing else. Mainly because the only disincentive to pollute is the price of fuel.

In the first three months of this year GM, the maker of the Yukon and the world's biggest car manufacturer (Toyota just overtook them) sold less than 850 hybrids in the US in total.

I guess you can see why.
