Norwich Bulletin - www.norwichbulletin.com - Norwich, Conn.: "Gas/electric hybrid cars are becoming more popular as gasoline prices continue to rise. But there are other reasons more people are buying hybrid cars.
One such reason is hybrid cars represent an important technological improvement over the gasoline engine. This technology is just one step toward better fuel economy: as demand for hybrid cars increases and more hybrid cars are produced, the technology will evolve and improve.
A related reason people are buying hybrid cars is they are concerned with the health of the environment. Hybrid cars not only achieve better gas mileage than conventional cars, they are also much less polluting than conventional cars. Tailpipe emissions create gases including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon."
