Exclusive summary about Buying Hybrid Cars by Jimmy Woodall

If you are getting the bug you should really think about a hybrid car this time rather than one of the gas guzzlers. You really should not be worried about the constant prices of fuel as it goes up or down if you have a hybrid car. When you are sitting parked and waiting, the gasoline engine is turned off completely with the electric engine still running.

Then if you start to move the gasoline engine automatically turns on again and uses fuel to propel the vehicle. The electric motor and the gasoline engine propel the car together when the car is running. This is why the new hybrid cars are able to emit a lot less pollutants than the cars with just gasoline engines.
