Will Buying a Hybrid Car Save on Petrol?

By Colin Jones

When you pull up to the gas pump and fill your car up with $10-$50 worth of gas, you may find yourself heaving a long drawn out sigh. How on Earth did petrol get to be so expensive? Should you check out one of those new hybrid cars you saw on the TV? Everyone's talking about hybrid cars anyway. Hybrid cars and other types of cars may seem like a good idea, but before you go out and do something rash, maybe you should ask yourself a few questions about how you can begin to save on fuel.

There are so many options now including everything from not going out to buying a hybrid car, but you have to find out what is best for you. You can only do that by asking yourself the following questions.

Should you just drive less?

For sure, you could spend the rest of your life at home watching television, but how would you get by then? I know what you're thinking! You will walk more and so get more exercise. That could be true, but what will happen when you get bored with walking and riding your bike? How are you going to be able to get to the gym then? And, have you forgotten about work? You know you just love listening to your books on tape while you are sitting in the traffic jams at the end of the workday. Should you drive less? Probably not then. But what should you do? Well, have you ever considered purchasing a hybrid car?

Should I buy a car that gets more miles for less gas?

Yes, you could do this, but what about when the vehicle starts to depreciate and it's not as fuel-efficient as you thought it would be? And subconsciously, because you know you have a car that gets more mileage out of fuel, you are going to start traveling more miles than you traveled before.

Should I get up earlier each morning to look for the cheapest gas prices in the area?

Come on, who has the time to do all that? If you really think about it, you could probably spend your time more profitably finding the right answer to the real question. Do you really want to spend extra time looking for a cheap gas station? What would your boss think if you arrive late for work and tell him you were trying to save money on petrol? And anyway, how long do you honestly think you'll keep doing that?

Should I find a way to run my car on electric batteries?

Well, you certainly don't want to have to recharge your car every day before you go to work because that might make you late as well. With a hybrid car, you wouldn't have to worry about that. Therefore, the next question should be obvious.

Should I purchase a hybrid car?

Perhaps you should. It's possible that buying a hybrid car would be a sensible method to avoid higher gas prices. Would your car depreciate as soon as you drive it off the forecourt? A hybrid won't do that so readily as it brings the buyer in more and more money as they save on petrol. A hybrid car just might be a good choice here. However, it's still a good idea to conduct further research on a hybrid car. - 21396
