Hybrid Technology offers two advantages:

1) Excellent gas mileage and fuel efficiency.
2) Less pollution and green house gas effects.

Basically the fuel saving is achieved by using the electric motor and batteries. In the hybrid cars the driving force is generated by electric motor, gas engine or both. By using Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, we could save fuel at a considerable extent. Honda Insight gives a gas mileages of 61/68 on the city/highway and Toyota prius gives 60/55 city/highway gas mileage. For people doing daily commuting or long journeys hybrid cars are the best option to save fuel and $ amount. Check our gas mileage page for information on other cars.

What is the reason behind saving fuel and how does hybrid cars achieve fuel efficiency.

• Using Electric Engine and battery pack.
• Using regenerative braking energy while applying brakes. The brakes are configured to capture kinetic energy which is then used for charging batteries.
• Computer controlled vehicles to guide the gas engine when to work and when not to. And optimizing the performance for best fuel usage.
• Aerodynamics
• Low resistance tires.
• Idle off capability allows the saving fuel wastage at idle situations when the car is stopped.
• Full electric on the low speed drive runs the car with absolutely no gas usage.
• Power assist ability where the electric engine assists the gas engine resulting in small gas engine, which allows the vehicle to achieve the same performance as a vehicle with a larger engine while achieving superior fuel economy.
