What You Are Really Getting Out of Every Mile



If you see next to a well traveled road in a small sized city today, you will see a record number of hybrid cars cruising down the street. This is because people actually somewhat care about the environment and the future of the planet. As this cartoon is explaining, the demand for faster hybrids is on the rise, so if you see a sport car hybrid in the future, it may not mean that it has great gas mileage. People want speed in America and they may get it, but with the increase in horsepower, comes lower miles per gallon. Overseas, the need for speed is much less and people care about how much money they are saving by getting a compact car and saving gas. It is a whole different world here in America, but we have to change our practices of preserving gas or we will end up like the people back in the Stone Age.
