Hybrid Cars

Hybrid cars are the best of both worlds -- like chocolate and peanut butter, hybrids combine two smart ideas into one energy efficient concept. Essentially, a traditional internal combustion engine is supplemented with a battery-powered electric motor. The electric motor takes some of the work off the combustion engine's hands, especially at lower speeds. Generally, hybrids cost more up front, but the long-term benefits include greater fuel efficiency and fewer emissions than traditional cars.
