    2. What is a Hybrid Vehicle? Vehicle that uses a combination of gasoline and electricity for motive power, so it increases efficiency and reduces emissions (PCE). Run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline, rather than just gasoline (Care2.com).

    3. Benefits of Using a Hybrid Vehicle Hybrids are much more energy efficient Reduced wear and tear on the gasoline engine These vehicles can get up to 55-60 mpg in city traffic while an SUV could travel 15-20 mpg. Buy less gas Reduced air pollution (Wikipedia.org)

    4. Good for the Environment They are more expensive but these cars are a lot better for the environment.
