In certain driving modes, hybrid electric gas cars offer you no better fuel efficiency than standard cars. Also the fuel efficiency of Hybrid cars and SUV's works counter intuitive to what you would expect. Your gas mileage could be more volatile with a hybrid vehicle due to the way it operates in different driving modes, and how much time you spend in each driving mode. In some driving modes, your fuel efficiency can be better, and in some modes your fuel efficiency can offer you no benefit at all. We will give you enough information here to help you decide if a hybrid vehicle is right for you. But first, let's clear the air on the common myths and misconceptions of hybrid vehicles.
Stop blaming the President, stop blaming the oil companies and Congress about oil prices!
Everyone wants to blame everyone else for their problems. Don't blame the President or oil companies for high gasoline prices. If you want to blame someone, go into the bathroom and point into the mirror, because it's your fault! It's my fault, it's everyone's fault. Sure oil companies took advantage and charged a bit more in 2005, making record profits, that's called capitalism dudes. You sell your camera on eBay and it bids way up because the demand is there to support it. Is that someone's fault? But think about this, oil companies would not have had a leg to stand on with pricing if the demand for fuel from you and I were not so great. We all drive around in gas guzzling SUV's. Think about it, in 1994, there were very few SUV's on the market. Remember the 70's? Riding bikes to work, carpooling? Hardly anyone does that anymore. China's insatiable demand for oil, cement, and lumber had not kicked in yet. The population was a lot lower than, and there were fewer houses requiring electricity and heating oil. So the fault here lies with you and I much more than the President or Congress oil companies. Instead of complaining about their record profits, buy their stock! China alone was the root cause of the largest increases in lumber and cement the last 2 years. All of us need to do what we can to conserve oil, not just with our cars, but in conservation and recycling of other resources we use that depend on oil. We need to attack this from multiple angles. Hybrid vehicles are one of many steps that we should be implementing. Hybrid cars CLAIM a 40% to 60% improvement in fuel efficiency for city driving. Just think if all of us drove hybrid cars, what that would do to the demand for gasoline. It does not take much of a drop in demand for oil at all to tip the scales and cause prices to drop.
