Need for good mileage in your cars
The simple fact is that fuel-efficient vehicles get better gas mileage than most traditional cars and trucks. Who wouldn’t want to save a whole lot of bucks at the gas pump, right? Whether we are talking about petrol / diesel powered cars that get better EPA ratings because they are smaller, lighter, have smaller engines, and smarter gas-saving technology, or we’re imagining the latest hybrid (HEV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that incorporates an electric motor and battery pack to get you farther down the road without emptying out your wallet, fuel-efficient vehicles are here to stay.
Another undeniable fact is that the world is moving away from petrol / diesel combustion engines to more efficient, zero emission all-electric cars for a greener future. High gas prices are pushing this evolution and even people who don’t find EVs particularly appealing are choosing plug-in hybrid vehicles in record numbers.
