Hi Lakedude and Tbaleno:

___I agree that it will not help GM move the VUE into the “Gee honey, look at the FE of this Saturn” territory but oh how I would love to have BAS attached to my Accord or the Euro Accord (TSX) w/ the 2.2 L iCDTi. Even a straight up 06 Civic EX would do very nicely with one attached … If it is setup and programmed properly! It could offer better FE then a straight up hybrid but it really depends on GM’s execution, use of its capabilities, and on what GM uses it on in their lineup? I think they are going to “screw the pooch” myself because they do not know any better but that is just me talking after our informative discussion with Martinjlm over the last few days … I hope not but I am not holding my breathe either

___Good Luck
