50% better than the non-hybrid 3.6 would be approx 24 city/34.5 Highway. (Just a complete guess, because I don't think the dual-mode helps alot during highway cruising, so it could only mean 50% city economy, BUT the numbers are out there.)
Thats about the same mileage as our 1998 Saturn SL2, which weighs a mere 2300 lbs and had a max of 124 hp from the factory (its amusing tring to accelerate with 5 people in it and the trunk full of stuff)

If a saturn can get a Caddy engine this year, then it should be availible in 2010 model Chevys.
