My 2008 Suburban gets around 17-19 highway on 100% gas I can still get at the Coop.
On E-85, that drops to around 14, and completely blows in city driving.

Haven’t been able to find a hybrid capable of towing 7,500lbs up hill in the snow.

“Haven’t been able to find a hybrid capable of towing 7,500lbs up hill in the snow.”

Here’s my yardstick for electric vehicles; I’ll accept them as practical when I see an electric over the road truck capable of hauling 80,000 pounds of something other than it’s own batteries.
