			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-718" src="http://www.micsautoinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Going-Green.jpg" alt="Going Green Thinking About Going Green?" width="500" title="Thinking About Going Green?" /></p>
<p>People who head over to <a title="Boiling Springs Dodge" href="http://www.spartanburgcdj.com" target="_self">Boiling Springs Dodge</a> are not likely to be too concerned with their fuel economy because Dodge vehicles are known for the excessive power and diesel consumption.  But for the rest of us, buying a new car is not near as simple as it used to be.  While we are still concerned when we go to <a title="Champion Ford" href="http://www.spradleybarrgreeley.com" target="_self">Champion Ford Dealers</a> about how many passengers the car can carry, how safe it is, and how cool it looks, drivers are also wondering about different ways to power their vehicle.  With brands like <a title="Boulder Toyota" href="http://www.interstatetoyota.com" target="_self">Boulder Toyota Dealers</a> making profits by selling hybrid cars and Nissan and Chevy producing cars that you plug-in at night, the choices are abundant.  To borrow a quote from Alfred P. Sloan of General Motors, there really will be “A car for every purse and purpose.”</p>
<p>Consumers need to do some homework before heading to the dealership.  Not all brands offer the new <a title="Fuel Alternatives" href="http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/current.shtml" target="_self">fuel alternative</a> vehicles.  There are electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, traditional combustion engines that use gasoline, diesel engines, cars that use flex fuel, compressed natural gas cars, and <a title="Hydrogen Cars" href="http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/hydrogen.shtml" target="_self">hydrogen</a>-fuel cell cars.  The list probably does extend beyond that, but these are the most common.  You need to really ask your salesman a lot of in-depth questions to make sure that an alternative fuel source vehicle is a good match for you.</p>
<p>The electric vehicles seem like a guaranteed sure bet until you really think about the logistics of the scenario.  For people who live in an apartment, how are you going to <a title="Charging Stations" href="http://www.ev-chargeamerica.com/" target="_self">charge your vehicle</a> every night and be assured it is safe and secure?  What about people that live out in the country; what are you going to do if your charge runs low and you are far from home?  The E85 or flex fuel gas vehicles have the same issues.  Not all gas stations carry the low emissions fuel, so long distance drives have to be carefully planned out.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-625 alignright" src="http://www.micsautoinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Prius.jpg" alt="Prius Time To Buy a Used Hybrid! " width="300" title="Time To Buy a Used Hybrid! " /></p>
<p>If you are considering a brand new car from <a title="Honda Dealer" href="http://www.pohankahonda.com" target="_self">Arlington Honda dealer</a>, we hope you are prepared to spend a pretty penny.  Acura vehicles have a reputation for their sporty performance ability and also for an above average price tag.  Experts are urging people to continue buying used cars, even though their prices are a bit high right now compared to what they usually are.  As fewer people are interested in new cars from <a title="CT Acura" href="http://www.acurasbyexecutive.com" target="_self">Connecticut Acura</a>, the used car supply is lower than the demand, which results in a higher price.  However, that being said, now is the time to consider buying a used hybrid.  The prices are more constant than the rest of the inventory at <a title="New Haven Jeep" href="http://www.executivejeep.com" target="_self">New Haven Jeep</a>, and that is because demand for hybrids has remained relatively constant.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-626" src="http://www.micsautoinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Hybrid-Logo-300x183.jpg" alt="Hybrid Logo 300x183 Time To Buy a Used Hybrid! " width="300" height="183" title="Time To Buy a Used Hybrid! " />Of course, you always have the freedom to buy a brand new hybrid.  However, buying brand new is very expensive and it will take you years to make up the cost.  Sure, some drivers argue that they are spending less on fuel every year because of the increased fuel mileage that comes with a <a title="Hybrid Fuel " href="http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/hybridtech.shtml" target="_self">hybrid engine</a>.  If you really sit down and do the math, you aren’t saving as much as you think.  It would make sense if the initial cost of a hybrid wasn’t so much more than a traditional car.   But the “<a title="Hybrid Premium" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_electric_vehicle" target="_self">hybrid premium</a>” refers to the price difference between a hybrid version compared to the regular gas engine model of the same platform (ie: Ford Fusion versus Ford Fusion Hybrid).</p>
<p>When you buy a used hybrid, you are saving money because the previous owner absorbed a lot of the loss due to <a title="Depreciation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depreciation" target="_self">depreciation</a>.  Plus, while most cars are covered by a warranty for about 60,000 miles, the battery of a hybrid is usually covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, so owners have extra peace of mind.<br />

Before they had box like that was almost something from outer space and it was not very appealing. Now they are all main stream looks with a little of edge to them.

That is a yes and no question. There are more fuels efficient cars that offer you better gas mileage with more power and better handling like the<a title="Nissan" href="http://www.nissanaltimablowout.com" target="_self"> Nissan Altima</a>, but keep in mind that hybrids never stop evolving. Others are not far behind in the race to offer fuel efficient cars like <a title="Volkswagen" href="http://www.peoriavolkswagen.com" target="_self">Volkswagen Dealer</a>. Keep in mind that if you have a large family then you will need lots of room so try <a title="DealerShip Cars" href="http://www.atlanticfreightlinertrucks.com" target="_self">Fort Lauderdale Sprinter Vans</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hybrids give you better MPG, and they dont give off as much emissions. These cars are perfect for small to mid-sized families. They give you everything a modern luxury car does for right around the same price. They still offer room for people to sit comfortably, and they also offer cargo space.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a title="Hybrid/Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid">Hybrids</a> have come along way from the box like cars that used to cause people to laugh. Now the exterior of these cars have a stream line look that offers a spark all its own. These cars have their own pros and cons, but keep in mind that this a family car and the engine does have a limit on the power it can give off.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also if you need a working class truck then a <a title="Hybrid Cars" href="http://www.hybridcars.com/" target="_self">hybrid car</a> is not what you need. You might want to choose from some of the very fuel efficient working class trucks or even a cross over, but a small car like this can not get the job done with out getting stuck.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Over all these are great cars. They give you great gas mileage and the also score very highly in crash test ratings. These cars are perfect for families on the go. This car give the driver a fun ride and the passengers a comfortable one. The hybrids have good acceleration and they make sure your ride is anything but boring, but the price range might be a bit high for some people to afford. Most <a title="Hybrids" href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/hybrid-car9.htm" target="_self">hybrids</a> start off around 27,000, but keep in mind that these fun little cars are more then worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.micsautoinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Volt-vs-Prius.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-103 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" src="http://www.micsautoinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Volt-vs-Prius.jpg" alt="Volt vs Prius A Hybrid Debate: Chevy vs. Toyota" width="600" height="488" title="A Hybrid Debate: Chevy vs. Toyota" /></a></p>
<p>As America continues its efforts to go green, we as consumers are being bombarded with lots of new products.  Did you know that they even make clothes out of recycled plastic bags?  The auto industry is taking the green challenge seriously and Toyota’s Prius, available at locations from east-coast <a title="Boston Toyota" href="http://www.bostontoyotaprices.com" target="_self">Boston Toyota</a> across the nation, has long been the main contender.  A few other hybrids have entered the market but none have been original enough or on the market long enough to gain the street credit of the Prius.  Chevrolet is releasing its 2010 Volt, an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle, in limited numbers to begin with and plans to increase production based on success.  It may not be available at every <a title="Indiana Chevrolet" href="http://www.indianachevroletdealers.com" target="_self">Indiana Chevrolet Dealer</a> nor even in every state, so check with your local dealer first and ask about special ordering.</p>
<p><a title="Chevrolet" href="http://www.chevrolet.com" target="_self">Chevrolet</a> states the Volt comes with a rechargeable 16 kilowatt lithium-ion battery, and that a three-cylinder gas engine takes over when the battery charge drops below 30%.  The 53 kilowatt generator will recharge the battery pack, and it is estimated that fuel economy will average 50 mpg.  The price is estimated to be in the $40,000 range, and there is a $7,500 federal tax rebate available.  Speeds for the Volt top out at 100 mph, but excessive highway driving at high speeds and using A/C, heater, and audio system would deplete the battery charge in less than 30 miles of travel.  The Volt earns positive marks from <a title="U.S. News" href="http://www.usnews.com" target="_self">U.S. News</a> for low-cost operation, ability to travel 40 miles per day without using any gasoline, and a futuristic sleek exterior and interior design.  U.S. News says the Volt misses the mark with regards to only being able to seat four, a small 10.6 cubic-foot trunk, and the high price for a family sedan.</p>
<p>The <a title="Toyota" href="http://www.toyota.com" target="_self">Toyota</a> Prius has been on the market for a while now and averages 50 mpg with a bargain price of less than $32,000 for a fully-equipped model and an average sale price of $25,775.  U.S. News praises the vehicle for its great fuel economy, amount of storage space and interior room, and that the driving experience is comparable to a non-hybrid vehicle.  Prius could improve by improving the style, improve the steering, and enlarge the backseat passenger area.<br />
