I think there is a point being missed here. Some people buy Silverados because they need trucks. You can't run a home improvement business out of a Prius. Let's just take an example of someone who drives 15,000 miles a year and use the EPA 2007 city mileage ratings. If you need truck, a hybrid Silverado (16 mpg) will use 134 gallons less per year than a conventional Silverado (14 mpg). If you don't need a truck and buy a hybrid Camry (40 mpg) you will save 200 gallons per year over a conventional Camry (24 mpg). If you compare the regular and hybrid versions of the Saturn Aura, you find the hybrid would save over 200 gallons per year. Does it really make sens to label GM a failure?
