It's Electric..Despite sliding gas prices, car buyers boogie toward the hybrid market
Yet another Hybrid article. This one is by Julia Green of Hatch magazine. Hatch is a magazine aimed at 20-30 year olds, that fosters sharing of "real-life" stories from other viewers, related to careers, shelter, money, education, health, culture. Sounds a lot like GB !
The article is diffrent from most, in that it brings out some great truths
Quote:
There are clearly environmental benefits to driving a hybrid, but even without taking those into account, the math alone indicates that investing in a hybrid would be a great financial decision.
Quote:
Well, the hybrid is pretty much a no-brainer: It's relatively inexpensive, will save you money in the long run and will contribute to a healthier environment.
Quote:
Many people also still believe that hybrid vehicles need to be plugged in, when, in fact, it's the gasoline engine that recharges the electric motor as necessary. No plugging needed.

I've never recharged a motor, knowingly, in my life.
A battery, yes. A motor, no.

That tank of gas will take you approximately 554 miles. So if you drive 20 miles to and from work every day, you could go 13 days before you'd have to refill. That's nearly two weeks without having to stop for gas.
Poor guy. Doesn't get weekends off.
Other than that, great article. You ever notice that all the pro-hybrid articles involve real owners, and all the anti-hybrid articles feature "experts"?
