Environmental benefits of Hybrid Technology
Every gallon of gasoline your vehicle burns puts 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The EPA tells us that by choosing a vehicle that achieves 25 miles per gallon rather than 20 miles per gallon, you can prevent the release of about 15 tons of greenhouse gas pollution over the lifetime of your vehicle. Imagine if you choose a vehicle that gets 100% better mileage rather than 25%!
The recent sinking and leaking of an oil tanker off the coast of Spain is more reason to reduce our dependency of foreign oil. Petroleum imports cost Americans about $2 billion a week. Imagine the economic impact if everyone choose a car that was 30% more efficient - $600 million a week!
A ULEV (Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) produces 86% fewer hydrocarbons than a typical 2000 model car.
