[Update: Title changed to say Tahoe, not Malibu. See comments for explanation]
Thanks to GM, I and some fellow BlogHers get a free ride up to San Francisco for the BlogHer conference. GM’s lending us a Chevy Malibu Tahoe — free of charge — along with a full tank of gas and free parking.
Said Chevy Malibu Tahoe’s taking up half my block at the moment.
Yep, the Malibu Tahoe’s a hybrid, but a humongo one — meaning it gets only 22 mpg.
Considering how expensive gas is these days, does anyone know how many miles a full tank of gas will get us?
Don’t worry — I’m carpooling — though now that I have a real sense of how big the the car and how low its mpg is, I’m thinking I really shoulda worked harder on getting more people to ride up with us –
I’m hoping we can scrounge up more people to ride down with us Sunday morning. Lemme know if you’re coming back to LA post-conference!

Update, 7/17/08: How much does it cost to fill up a Tahoe?
Update, 7/21/08: Cost of fuel for trip back to LA: $100.
Hope to meet a fellow LA Girl at BlogHer. I am on the board of a sustainable aqua farm headquartered in LA. Love to tell you about it.

That is not a Chevy Malibu.

Very cool, have fun! I just got to drive GM’s hydrogen SUV, haven’t tried their Hybrid, it does look humongo. Robert is right though it’s not a malibu but a Chevy Tahoe. Enjoy blogher!

Yeah, I think that’s a Tahoe. I was wondering why you were describing a Malibu as huge…

Well they said they were giving us a Malibu, then a car showed up, so I assumed it was a Malibu. This morning I saw a lil sign that said “Tahoe” on the side and wondered if Tahoe was a type of Malibu :P
