High Gas Prices (Hybrid Cars)?

Question

Gas prices are soaring to the roof. I was wondering what good hybrid car can help me. $4 a gallon is to much and i cant afford that for a long time.

Answer 1

If you are mainly focused on fuel economy I would suggest the Toyota Prius. It gets up to 60 mpg! Some other hybrid vehicles are the Nissan Altima hybrid, the Toyota Camry hybrid and the Honda Accord Hybrid.

Diesels are also very fuel effecient. Some are the VW Jetta Diesel, VW Passat Diesel, Mercedes E320, VW Toureg Diesel, VW Beetle DIesel, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel.

Answer 2

Yes that is why I have a Honda Civic it gets about 40 mph. on the open road.

Answer 3

Hybrids cost more than similar regular cars, so it takes 5-10 years for them to make up the difference on gas savings.  After that point you're saving money, but money isn't the best reason to buy a hybrid.

Answer 4

If you di a lot of city driving yes, highway they do not make that much of a difference over any other effecient small car

Answer 5

I bought a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid, and it costs just the same as any other car that's new ($27). When you drive under 25 mph, the car runs only on battery, therefore the fuel doesn't kick in. And the more you practice, the higher you can go. I can now get the car up to 40mph and still be only on electric.

I am getting about 35-38 miles a gallon. Plus I always drive efficiently, as in I don't zoom from one light to another, just lightly on gas, lightly on brake.  On the highway, they're not too efficient -- however, it is still considered a Zero Emissions car.
