Part commonality for cost savings. The QTY of hybrids made was a tiny percentage of the non-hybrids made.

Re: Bought another Yukon Hybrid

Go ahead and put E85 in ANY 2-Mode!

You won't get 15 miles before it quits!

2-modes NEVER were Flex Fuel.

They went to a common fuel rail to save money!

NEVER calibrated the 2-mode or put in the required sensors to enable Flex Fuel.

You are entitled to your opinions. The facts are the facts!

Re: Bought another Yukon Hybrid

There is more to making a vehicle flex fuel than just bigger injectors. My 2013 Yukon Hybrid lists only Gasoline on the emission label under the hood, and has no reference to any other fuel in the owners manual.

BTW, on a regular 200 mile drive city/highway combined loop I make my new 13 averaged 20.7, a full 1 mpg better than my 09.

Re: Bought another Yukon Hybrid

that is terrible with a new battery? whats the local speed limits? My Local limits are pretty high between 40mph and 65mph on the local streets...

the Fuel Economy Band is at 40MPH to 44MPH basically the engine is at 1000-1050 RPM in v4

easily get 25 combined on a 200 mile run with what is essentially a 11 years old dead battery....at this age it's safe to assume that capacity is only 5-10% of original capacity ...This was built in Jan 2008 so it was the first few units off the line

i do admit i did refresh the pack (VERY VERY LONG regeneration about 9 miles possibly the world record for EV mode on the Two mode hybrid granted it was all down hill for 9 miles.)... after refreshing it AND replacement of the 12V+ battery the mileage up quite a bit (replacement Fixed my Check Engine Light that I was chasing for months, intermittent P0069 code)

I was about to replace the MAF sensor but the 12V+Battery totally failed momentarily (i knew it was going to happen as it failed when we had a cold spell )

I got a AGM battery this time with 5 years free replacement (for 164$ ) No intermittent P0069 so far after the replacement
