Question

i am going to get a car and im not sure if i should get a hybrid or not.
I know that it is famous for having the most miles per gallon. That is a big turn on for me. But i do not see a lot of people having hybrids.
Is there a problem with these types of cars??
If you did buy one of these cars, why did you buy it??
What is the good parts of these cars?
Are hybrids strong?? like can you go up a hill with it??
please tell me all i need to know about these cars.

Answer 1

The biggest benefit of having a hybrid is the fuel economy. They have a regular gas engine and an electric motor to supplement the gas engine. So when you accelerate or go up hill, both are working and have plenty of power. When you slow down, not all of the energy is lost in braking. Some of it goes to charging the battery for the electric motor.
I see more and more hybrids all the time. There are federal tax credits, too. Check irs.gov and search "hybrid". I bought mine because of the tax credit and to save the planet.
