Re: 2008 Dodge Durango to be available as a hybrid
A few observations:
1. Why is the hybrid improvement so modest? HSD yeilds a 60-80% improvement and IMA is good for a 35-50% boost in fuel efficiency.
2. What is the FE of the base product? 25% more mileage is a *huge* number when the base product gets 30-40 MPG, but a Durango get about 4-6 MPG? That would mean an improvement of 1-2 MPG.
