There are a number of different advantages which come along with owning a hybrid car. These cars also tend to have great warranties, which include the car’s battery pack and electric motor. Another major benefit of hybrid cars is that they tend to have a significantly high amount of gas mileage, most of them getting about eight to ten percent better mileages. If you are in the market of buying a new car, why not look into a new hybrid. One of the best benefits is the Tax deduction.
The Toyota Prius still remains in the number one place for being a fuel-efficient hybrid car. Even though a few flaws remain, the new upgrades make for a better car.

The Honda Insight cost thousands less than the Prius, and looks better. Even though it does not get the same mileage from a tank of gas, it gets good mileage from a tank of gas.

Because the Chevy Tahoe hybrid does not meet the criteria for the (CAFE), it received the questionable title” green car of the year” at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show.
Although the full-size SUV launches a new breed of larger vehicles that are significantly greener than their gas-powered versions, what makes this vehicle great is it can shut down 4 of the 8 cylinders when the extra power is not needed. That saves fuel. Beyond the engine, there’s a 300-volt battery that hides below the second-row seats. The vehicle’s two electric motors are housed within the transmission.
