Q:  What Is A Hybrid Car And Is One Worth It With Gas Prices Climbing?

A traditional hybrid car with a gas engine and a electric motor powered by a battery is a vehicle that uses less gas and will save you money at the pump. In fact, may hybrids improve fuel economy by 30-60% as compared with similar gas-only models. As someone who  recommends hybrids all the time, with gas prices on the rise again, I'd say hybrids are definitely worth their typically higher cost for their long-term savings at the pump.
