Not really. The thread is closed over in Journalism. I stand by my posts but I sure wished it hadn't been necessary. Oh well, maybe we'll have a little peace.

The Suburban has loads of mpg improvement potential.In very short trip driving(average 2 miles with hours in between starts) it gets 12mpg. . . .

I ran into a posting about an outfit that puts an electric motor in series with the rear wheel drive shaft. It looks like a great solution for a Suburban, which if I remember right it has rear wheel drive. They don't have regenerative braking so it is pure 'plug-in' but it could give the Suburban a nice boost using grid-energy instead of terrorist-energy:
