Ultra rare 'burb option

I have only seen it twice before, but I found out my 'burb has the rare "Hover" option!

That`s about as rare as the "rust-free" option.

Not only that, but it also appears to have the rare 3-door option.

Does it get better gas mileage in "full hover mode"?
I have been plaving around with hover options and found i can get great MPG with my blazer, which also has the hover option. It gets even better if you strip it down, you might want to give it a try. I have not had to put gas in my blazer in 8 yrs now!

That's what happens when you use that war-surplus Harrier grease.
