Hybrids get their name from a double power source: a small, fuel-efficient gas engine that&rsquo;s assisted by an electric motor when accelerating.&nbsp; The motor is powered by batteries that automatically recharge while you drive. After years of development, hybrids have become a practical choice for consumers.<\/p>\n<p>\tBesides their smaller, cleaner engines, hybrids also boast other efficient features:<\/p>\n<p>\t<strong>Regenerative Braking<\/strong>. The hybrid&rsquo;s electric motor can also slow the car. In this mode, the motor charges the batteries while the car is slowing down.<\/p>\n<p>\t<strong>Periodic Engine Shutoff<\/strong>. When stopped in traffic, a hybrid&rsquo;s engine shuts off. It instantly re-starts when put into gear, without interrupting your momentum.<\/p>\n<p>\t<strong>Advanced Aerodynamics, Low-Rolling Resistance (LLR), Tires &amp; Lightweight Construction<\/strong>. These features reduce drag, putting less strain on your engine.<\/p>\n<p>\tHybrids are available with all the features you expect in a new car, and their excellent gas mileage (often 40-50 mpg) makes them a cost-effective, conscientious choice. Ask your dealer to help you find a hybrid that&rsquo;s right for you.<\/p>\n<p>\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eretriever.com\/cms\/img\/2039.jpg\" title=\"By Loadbeta (Own work) [CC0], via Wikimedia Commons\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No decision makes a bigger impact on the environment than the type of car you drive.&nbsp; &ldquo;Hybrid&rdquo; cars offer an efficient and affordable way to make a commitment to Mother Nature.
