How to Save Money with a Ford Hybrid Vehicle

Gas prices have risen significantly over the past year leaving many people wondering how they can save on gas and get better fuel efficiency. Depending on where you live, residents of Los Angeles county have been paying over $5 a gallon for the last year. One of the best ways is to switch to a more economical vehicle that uses less gas and relies on electricity. A new wave of the future, hybrid vehicles.

Hybrid vehicles offer the best of both worlds when it comes to fuel efficiency as you have the capabilities of a gas powered vehicle, with the extra push of electricity. Most hybrids have an EPA estimated over 40 MPGe city driving, which is often a 100% increase in fuel efficiency compared to most models under 20 MPGe. When thinking about the cost at the pump, imagine cutting your gas bill in HALF!
