If the price of gasoline has scared you, and you may think about trading in your car for a moped, you have the right half of the solution. It would be time to trade in the car, but forget the moped - a hybrid car instead.

The dictionary defines the word as a hybrid: Offspring from breeding between parents of two different species, and this is a good definition for our purposes. This is because a hybrid car is a power plant, which is a mixture of gasoline-powered engine and an electric motor.

What is the great thing about hybrid cars?

The automotive industry claims that a hybrid car can give you as much as 20 to 30 miles per gallon more performance than a standard gasoline engine. That means you buy less gasoline, and buying less gasoline leaves more money in your pocket. You need that extra money, because hybrid cars are still relatively expensive compared to conventional gasoline cars. As more hybrid cars are sold, production, prices fall and the drop in the selling price.

How does a hybrid car save gasoline?

In a typical automobile, the engine is equipped with the transmission via a mechanical connection to drive. If the engine is the spark plug fires, they ignite gasoline vapor which pushes a piston up and down. This piston movement is on the transfer on the train. The transfer is of the wheels and the car on the road.

Well, the hybrid car is almost exactly the same except that in addition to the motor connected to the transmission, an electric motor is also connected to the transmission. Actually, there are two different versions of hybrid cars. The one that has just described as a parallel hybrid, because there are two different sources simultaneously connected with the transfer.

The other type of hybrid car is a number, because the gasoline-hybrid engine in series with the electric car to power. This is confirmed by the gasoline engine either charge the car batteries or power the electric motor. The gasoline engine does not really turn the vehicle wheels.

The parallel hybrid is in the electrical motor when the car is at a certain speed, and the gasoline engine takes, if this speed is exceeded, or if sensors in the car indicate that the driver has suddenly so as to whether or to prevent emergencies.

Of course, the gasoline engine is always running, even if the electric car is the driving force, so that some fuel is always used.

The Hybrid Series is always running from the electric motor, the maximum speed of the car and the gasoline engine takes up where the batteries must be charged.

Like all automotive claims, your mileage may vary. Even so, if you are on less money at the gas station, and avoid a lot about the effects of rising gas prices, you can park a hybrid car in your garage.
