Pressure at the pump? Try a Chevy.
GM's alternative fuel technologies are giving us gas-friendly vehicles today, and moving us toward gas-free vehicles tomorrow. See  gm.com/explore.
GM is all about giving you options. In addition to a lineup of vehicles that feature exciting design; affordable pricing; power and performance; luxury and practicality; safety technology and much more, GM offers gas-friendly fuel choices for today — such as fuel-efficient cars, hybrids and biofuel vehicles — while working toward gas-free solutions for tomorrow, such as electric and fuel cell vehicles.

Fuel Efficiency
With today's fuel prices, every mile counts, and GM is doing its share to help you out at the pump. After all, GM makes more models that have an EPAestimated 30 MPG highway or better1 than any other manufacturer.

You can enjoy your commute more in a Chevy Cobalt XFE Coupe, knowing it has an incredible EPA-estimated 36 MPG highway fuel economy — unsurpassed in its class.2

And the all-new 2009 Pontiac Vibe — a sporty hatchback with seating for five — combines performance, function, style and safety with great fuel efficiency.3 With its 1.8L engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), you can enjoy an EPA-estimated 32 MPG on the highway — better highway fuel economy than the Nissan Versa and Dodge Caliber.4

Other fuel-efficient vehicles include the elegant Buick LaCrosse, which features exquisite craftsmanship along with Buick's exclusive QuietTuning technology, and has an EPA-estimated 28 MPG highway.1

And the attention-getting Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan has an EPA-estimated 29 MPG highway1 with manual transmission, so you can drive it to your heart's content.

Fuel-Saving Technology
One million GM vehicles with V8 and V6 engines, including the 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid (available at participating dealers only), have Active Fuel Management® technology.

It helps save fuel by using only half of the engine's cylinders under certain driving conditions, seamlessly switching to all cylinders when needed for brisk acceleration or hauling heavy loads.

And then there's GM's hybrid 2008 Saturn VUE Green Line Hybrid (very limited availability beginning Spring 2008) 2008 Buick LaCrosse CXL technology. With a fuel economy improvement of 27 percent over the Saturn VUE's conventional engine, the VUE Green Line Hybrid offers an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and the best highway mileage of any SUV with an EPA-estimated 32 mpg.1

The Chevy Tahoe Hybrid and GMC Yukon Hybrid — both available at participating dealers only — are the first full-size hybrid SUVs to use an innovative two mode hybrid technology to deliver a 50-percent improvement in city fuel economy compared to the conventional Tahoe or Yukon engine — while still delivering all the benefits of a full-size SUV.

Fuel Cell Vehicles
Investing in extensive research, GM has produced the AUTOnomy fuel cell concept vehicle* and the revolutionary Hy-wire,* which features both hydrogen and electronic technology.

The Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell,* powered by GM's fourth-generation hydrogen fuel cell system, is GM's most advanced fuel cell propulsion system to date.

E-Flex Drive System
One day, how would you like to make up to a 40mile or less daily commute without using a drop of gas? It may be possible with the GM-patented E-Flex Propulsion System — the drive system used in the Concept Chevy Volt**— which consists of an electric drivetrain capable of running on electricity, E85 and gasoline fuels.

Biofuel Systems
GM has more than three million vehicles on the roads in the U.S. today that run on biofuel — a blend of 85 percent biofuel and 15 percent gasoline.

Biofuel is a mostly renewable fuel that can be made from biodegradable plants and wastes. Biofuel helps:

     • Reduce our dependence on petroleum.
     • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
     • Reduce smog-forming emissions.

Biofuel also can help improve your vehicle's performance because it has a higher octane rating than gasoline, which can result in more horsepower and torque.
