with limited appeal may want to reconsider. Ditto for those who insist that fuel savings or government incentives are the only reasons people buy hybrids.Tech Updates

wow. High Prius sales lifted hybrids to 1.89% of the U.S. vehicle market, their highest penetration yet. When compared with a month earlier, nearly every model posted gains. In general, the hybrid market looks healthy, showing 36% growth in an overall light vehicle market that is contracting slightly. thank you for this post.

There is some concern, however, about the symbolic value of high MPG. Many consumers don’t think in terms of percentage changes in fuel economy—they think just about the MPG number. Reducing the Prius’ MPG from 55 to 46 seems like a more drastic change than reducing the average car’s MPG from 25 to 21. In fact, both represent a change of about http://www.batteryfast.co.uk 16%. So while the new ratings only slightly alter the fuel efficiency advantage of hybrid models relative to conventional vehicles, they disproportionately lop off more miles per gallon from hybrid models. For some buyers, this could rub some of the sheen off the hybrid halo.
