Hybrid Car Mileage

"Revealed Here - The Hybrid Vehicle With The Best MPG!" 

How much should a new car cost?  A better question would be, "How much are you  willing to pay for a car?"

.........With soaring fuel costs drivers are now very concerned, not only about the price  of a new automobile, but how much will it cost to drive it. 

To get the most mile-per-gallon you must consider buying a hybrid powered vehicle.  Gas electric hybrid cars will show you a dramatic jump in gas mileage.

You may be startled to learn that you have to dig deep to own a hybrid sport  utility vehicle. 

The price for one of those puppies will set you back in the  range of $20,000 to $50,000.  And that's for the standard, no frills model.

That means the bottom of the hybrid SUV price range is about $5,000 more than a  similar model with a convention, internal combustion engine.

The trick is to own that vehicle long enough to get $5,000 worth of more miles per  gallon.  Once you done that you are even when compared with the conventional car  purchase. 

For a while the government give hybrid buyers a sweet little subsidy  that slightly eased the pain of the higher price.

The Era's 2005 fuel economy guide lists mileage you can expect from leading hybrid  vehicles.  The Honda Insight is listed at 57 MPG on the highway and 56 MPG in city  driving.

Next on the list is The Toyota Prius.  It get 60 MPG on the highway and 51 MPG  in the city.

A conventional cars that get very good mileage are both by Volkswagen.  Both the  new Beetle and Jetta get 42 MPG on the highway and 35 MPG in the city.

Those who claim that you can save enough in fuel costs to justify the purchase of  a hybrid point to the EPA test that show a car like the Chevy Monte Carol getting  24 MPG highway and 16 MPG city. 

If you are looking for style the modern hybrid vehicle comes in numerous makes and  models with various colors and sizes.

Not every hybrid gets great mileage.  The large the vehicle the more it costs to  drive.  That's not a surprise is it?  If you have a large family there may not be  much saving if you buy one of the hybrid SUVs.

Let's face it, auto styling does matter.  Hybrids may have some unique  engineering, but most have the look and feel of traditional motor vehicles. Hybrid  manufacturers have also developed a range of futuristic models, all available in  an assortment of colors.

For those who want a standard automobile look. The  problem is that many are just not selling well and may not stay in the dealers  lineup for long.

A few tests have indicated that the gas mileage of some hybrid models does live up to the numbers on the EPA fuel economy guide. 

Some say your mileage will average  8-10 percent higher on a standard hybrid vehicle than its conventional counter  part. Maybe, but do some research and see if there has been independent testing to support those percentages.

When considering a purchase you must factor in the environment and hybrid cars.

If you expect the money you save in gasoline to pay back the extra money you spent  to buy the vehicle, you want to be sure you will actually get those extra miles.

Consider the enviroment and hybrid car...
