This is exciting. I am no greeny by any means but this is a good thing for big trucks like ours.

The 2009 Chevrolet Silverado Two-Mode Hybrid promises gains of up to 40% in city miles-per-gallon and up to 25% in combined mileage, compared to the conventional 6.0-liter Vortec V8 Silverado it supplements in the lineup.

anyone know more about this

LIVC is cool. It's also known as the Miller combustion cycle, invented in the 1940s by American engineer Ralph Miller. But the Miller-cycle has rarely been used in car and truck engines because the fuel efficiency gains (between 10% to 20%) haven't been worth the performance, technical, and cost trade-offs.

I am still waiting on the 1/2 ton diesel! But, a diesel hybrid would be the ****! 30 mpg easy!

Sure, it will cost $50,000 though!

I wouldn't mind one either , it would be nice to have a good running isuzu pup diesel pickup for work , they got around 40-45 mpg

I am waiting on the diesel too. A diesel Hybrid half ton I can see it in ten years. I had a buddy that had a vw tdi we went from san diego to vegas and back on one tank doing 80+ the entire way. I am looking for one for a dd.
