For a greener Vue, check out this Saturn hybrid

With the price of gasoline well over $4 per gallon, most owners of large sport utility vehicles are putting their gas guzzlers out to pasture while they seek out more efficient transportation.
But those of us who travel with multiple dogs have had a quandary: Do we bite the fuel bill bullet and drive the SUV? Or leave the pups at home and take the compact?
The 2008 Saturn Vue Hybrid presents a modest compromise for dog-loving families who refuse to lose their crew for the sake of a few drops of oil. The Vue hybrid runs on gas and electric power that achieves an average of 26 miles per gallon in the city and 32 on the highway.
And best of all, it’s big enough for the dogs, their gear and your stuff because the rear seats fold flat for maximum versatility.
Saturn is pumping up the fuel savings again in 2009 as it introduces another Vue hybrid, this one featuring new two-mode technology developed in conjunction with Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler and BMW.
