Got a 2008 Tahoe Hybrid 4WD on 6/3. Black/Black, Entertainment Center but no Sun Roof. Dealer had 2 2WD drives on lot but I need the 4WD for the Erie, Pa. winter weather. He did a search and got it out of the Michigan dealers "pool".

Got a fairly good deal. $3,000 off MSRP. My son will probably trade his Mustang for the Silverado Hybrid in September.

Anyone need a '99 Subarban 454 that gets 9 MPG on a good day !?

Things I immediately did:
1. 2 coats of Zymol. Aquapel for windshield & headlight covers, RainX for other windows. Lexol on leather, Amorall on vinyl*
2. Removed rear 3rd row seats and stored them. (Don't need them, need room for dog and saves weight.)
3. WeatherTech front row mats
4. WeatherTech full rear cargo mat
5. WeatherTech window vent shades front & back.
6. K&N air filter (Used Escalade 6.0L listing)
7. McGard wheel locks
8. McGard Spline drive lugs (lighter)
9. Changed engine oil @ 1,000 miles. Use Mobil 1 synthetic 5W30.

Things to do shortly:
1. Will change Diff fluid to a full synthetic after gears burnish in.
2. Will consider changing tranny fluid to full synthetic ATF
3. Will remove front air dam in October for winter driving...otherwise I will be plowing snow.

- Got 28 MPG on I-90 over to Cleveland & back. Flat and level. 70 MPH in cruise V4 with electric assist.
- Milage dropped to 24 MPG to State College & back, same conditions but over hilly & Mountainous I-80 in central Pa..
- Get 20-21 around town depending on how I drive.
- Tire pressures all at 31 psi cold and heat up to 37-38 on interstate.
- I am considering using pure N2 and running at 35 psi. This should give slightly better mileage, minimize the upward heat drift in pressure stabilize the pressures.

Things I don't like:
1. Looking at the oil pressure gauge and seeing "0" pressure.
2. I've noticed on 2 lane highways at 55 MPH that there are a number of birds that look like they are being sucked into the windshield. One hit my left outside rearview mirrow after flying Rt -> Lt.. Many near misses. It must be the enhanced aerodynamics and reduced boundry layer in the front.
3. Interior control switches & Icons are small. I have had some mis selections due to my manly fingers and aging eyesite.

I scared the pants off a couple of cyclists on the berm bike path as they never heard me coming. I was driving in the local State Park at 25 MPH in full electric.

Was thinking of putting fog lights on but actually the OEM high beams do a good job, suprisingly better than the low beams.

I am seriously considering getting a spare rim and tire for long trips. I do this in the Corvette. The sealer and inflator will work well unless the bead is broken. If it is you are screwed. Roadside assistance is nice but it won't help on a late weekend nite if you need to change a tire or get a new one.
