This is quite true, although only comparing CITY MPG isn't the WHOLE story.
Also... keep in mind, though you are SAVING more gas (97 galllons more in this example) in the Tahoe Hybrid vs. Tahoe than you are in the Camry Hybrid vs Camry, you are still USING MORE gas in the Tahoe Hybrid than you are in the Camry Hybrid (or even the Escape/Tribute/Mariner Hybrid, or Highlander Hybrid - if they suit your needs).
The CITY MPG for the new Tahoe IS remarkable, and I do hope future buyers see its value. Way to go, GM
I just hope someone that NEEDS a CAMRY (or Camry Hybrid) doesn't now buy a Tahoe Hybrid instead - whereas before, they'd never even consider that option. Cost difference aside, it'll be tempting.
