When people start talking Hybrid, no doubt the first thing that comes to mind is the Toyota Prius – and for good reason. For the past 10 years or so, the Prius has ruled the Hybrid road. Not many other hybrids have given the Prius a run for its money, let alone come out on top. Other models either fall short in gas mileage, horsepower or price.

Calculating gas mileage and car options to consider when looking for improved fuel consumption

Every car manufacturer is looking for new technologies that will allow it to make fuel-efficient cars. Vehicles that will offer significant better mileage and lower polluting emissions. This is how hybrid cars were born. Fuel costs have risen significantly and cars consume a lot of fuel especially when driving around town. Large engines eat up significant amounts of gasoline or diesel fuel and using hybrid technologies is intended to improve the cars mileage and reduce its emissions. There are several small and medium sized hybrid cars (Honda and Toyota are offering their Prius and Civic sedan hybrid) on the market today. However, although you can buy a small hybrid car, until recently you were unable to buy a car hybrid SUV. Large 4×4 SUVs are heavier, need larger and more powerful engines to accelerate them to highway cruising speeds and people buying them were not particularly interested in fuel economy. However, the market has changed and while the demand for large SUVs is on the rise, so is the demand for more economical 4x4s.
