So since its the best selling SUV, then what a concept to offer a YUKON, TAHOE, or ESCALADE that gets 21MPG in the city! If not pemanent then atleast a step in the right direction for now! But they could stand to work on the PRICE $$$$$GEEZ$$$$$$</p> </div>

While I still believe that SUVs are one of the main eyesores of the road, and are major gas guzzlers, this shows that the public is very receptive to the idea of hybrid vehicles, as demonstrated with the Toyota Prius. I am looking forward to the day when we dont have to wholly rely on fossil fuels to power our cars, and all electric/hydrogen/fuel cell energy sources will be utilized and implemented in future makes and models of vehicles. Hopefully people will give biofuels a chance as well. I think something like bioheat could be a great alternative to oil/oil heating/etc. </p> <p>Did you know that if everyone switched to bioheat we could conserve 400 millions gallons of regular oil. That's a huge amount! I wish everyone could see the light. I would love it if you would check out the site on bioheat to read more background info on it. The other thing I love about it is that it's completely clean burning, and is comprised of a b5 blend of vegetable and plant oils such as avocados, hemp, corn, etc. Check out the link! <a href="http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat" rel="nofollow">http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat</a> PS I work with Nora to bring this info to you!</p></div>
