Help Save The Natural World (and Money) - Drive A Hybrid Car

Are vehicles growing to be passe? While the economy continues to tank

, and gasoline prices spiral upwards, many folks are planning on buying a bike. Quite a few seem to be also ready to surrender their car and be content with public transportation. However, there are some cars that are very efficient on fuel and these cars are hybrids. The thing is, many people don't even understand what hybrid car is.

For those who don't know anything about a hybrid car, it is the same as an ordinary car, except that it has two motors. The initial one is an ordinary fuel burning engine. The other is an electric engine. This kind of vehicle gets far better gas mileage because of the combination of using the two motors. One negative part of using an electric motor used to be being forced to plug it in to recharge its batteries. Today, with improving technology, the batteries are in fact charged by the wasted energy from the car, which is normally lost when the car slows down or brakes. As you drive your hybrid, it will switch back and forth between the two engines as required. One aspect involved will be the velocity you're traveling. Also, both motors are generally called upon simultaneously when extra power is required.

Since the electrical power produces no pollutants, not only is a hybrid cleaner to operate, but gets better mileage because when the car is using electric power, it is not using any gas. It is a matter of 50 mpg vs.14 mpg. So, you'll save money and the environment as well. The hybrid car is most suitable for you, if you are concerned about the environment as well as looking to save on the amount you spend on fuel. Yes, it may cost a little more ($5000, or so), but you'll quickly recoup that in fuel and maintenance savings.

It's this small additional up front expense that most likely makes many people shy away from hybrids. But if you look at the tax incentives that are offered, along with the fuel savings, you'll see what a good deal it can be. Some people think their insurance rates will soar, as will their maintenance expenses. In fact, studies show that maintenance costs are not any larger with a hybrid. It has also been determined that hybrid drivers get into much less accidents, so there are some nice insurance rate reductions to be enjoyed.

You might not be ready to buy a new car, but when you are, there are no reasons for not getting a hybrid. You'll prefer saving money at the gas pumps, plus the tax breaks should present you with added incentives, especially if you are at all concerned with the environmental problems.
