Chevy Tahoe Hybrid


 Hybrid taken to its logical extreme.

The 2008 Chevy Tahoe already has best-in-class fuel economy.(1) So why mess with a good thing? To make it better, of course. Seems the Green Car Journal agrees — they've named the 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid(2) the Green Car of the Year®.(3)

America's first full-size hybrid SUV is available in two- or four-wheel drive and provides the power and capability you expect from a utility vehicle while delivering efficiency you never imagined. Its hybrid propulsion system is designed to operate in three ways: electric power, engine power, or any combination of electric and engine power. When you need the extra muscle of Tahoe's Vortec V8, it kicks in seamlessly. When you need to conserve, two small and lightweight 60 kW motors get the job done.

And here's the big finish: When you pair the two-mode technology with our Active Fuel Management™ system, the Tahoe Hybrid offers up to 50% better city fuel economy over the non-hybrid Tahoe.(4) That's one hardworking hybrid.

Chevy Youth Baseball



Thumbs up for Newsome Automotive  and Chevrolet’s combined support of McLeod Park Baseball. During the course of the 2008 season, Newsome Automotive will donate equipment bags, baseballs, ball buckets and T-shirts to McLeod Park teams. Newsome Automotive also will partner with Chevrolet to donate a Chevy Tahoe sport utility vehicle that will be raffled off by  McLeod Park Baseball. Teams and leagues that participate in the raffle keep 100 percent of the proceeds. Youth sports are vital in developing a sense of teamwork and pride within a community. And when companies such as Newsome Automotive and Chevrolet step to the plate with financial support, it helps insure long-term success. The children of McLeod Park Baseball and the Florence community as a whole will be better because of the efforts.

Fuel Efficiency

Chevy currently offers eight models with an EPA estimated 30 MPG highway or better.(1) Aveo Sedan, Aveo5, Cobalt, Cobalt XFE, Malibu Hybrid, and select models of Malibu, HHR, and HHR Panel all fall into the 30 MPG or better club.

But it's not just about cars. Chevy Silverado offers the best V8 fuel economy of any full-size pickup,(2) and the full-size Tahoe SUV delivers best-in-class fuel
economy.(3) New technology like Chevy's Active Fuel Management™ has played a role in achieving greater fuel economy. Active Fuel Management™ deactivates half the engine cylinders when they are not needed and seamlessly reactivates them when you need the extra power.

And there's more! Every 2008 Chevy car, half-ton truck and SUV is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor that automatically alerts you when your tire pressure is low. Properly inflated tires can improve gas mileage by up to 3%.(4) Seems small, but if everyone in the U.S. had properly inflated tires, we could save millions of gallons of gas each year.
