Hybrid Electric Vehicles & Gas Ratings
I recently finished a series of articles on hybrid vehicles . A lot of good information is available, and it is surprising how economical they can be run. A lot of them, however, leave a lot to be desired in terms of both affordability and the nusiance of keeping them driveable.
I did an article on hybrid electric vehicles, and sent it off last night. Here is a good choice for those who wish a convenient car that is eco-friendly. While researching the article, I found that the guidelines used for mileage are a bit antiquated.
New Ratings
the old guidelines did not take into consideration such things as hard acceleration, the use of air conditioning, and the extremes in climate - either exctreme heat or cold. Now, this has been updated.
The Winner?
The Toyota Prius is the clear winner under new guidelines. It has a mileage rating of 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway driving. Under the old guidelines, the car got a rating of 55 city and 60 highway. quite a difference, but it still makes the Toyota Prius a very good value, indeed…
Drive on
