Shades of Green: Hybrid Vehicles

Page 7

Should you buy a hybrid car?

Honestly, the answer here completely depends on your individual needs. City driving, stop-and-go traffic, needed space—these are all critical factors to consider. Hybrids are most beneficial in city driving and stop-and-go traffic because the electric motor does most of the work. Take a look at your daily commute and your family situation to see if there may be a strong argument for a hybrid.

Most available hybrids are a bit on the small side. The list of Costco-sized hybrids is rather short, but there’s the full-size GMC Sierra Hybrid, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Fuel savings, decreased impact on climate change, and possible money savings are all key benefits with a hybrid, making them a solid choice if one fits your situation.
