Want to learn if a hybrid is the right car for you? Curious about the current hybrid technology being used? Want to stretch your pocketbook as well as your fuel tank?
Here's the book for you. Not only is this an easy, entertaining read, it’s one that’ll help put some green back in your pocket. As one chapter’s title states, “Hybrids Are Here to Stay,” so before you head out to buy your next car, we think it makes good “common cents” to read up on the latest high-tech hybrids.
This buyer’s guide is divided into 3 main sections:
- Is A Hybrid Car For You?
- A Buyer’s Guide to Hybrids
- Future Hybrids, Alternative-Fuel Vehicles and Super-efficient Small Cars
Thanks to author Nick Yost’s automotive expertise, this book makes efficient use of 148 power-filled pages of interesting anecdotes, reviews, and super photos. From the introduction of the first hybrid in the United States—the Honda Insight in 1999—to the up-and-coming fuel-sippin’ technology, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of mild hybrids and full hybrids, plus plug-in hybrids, and probably even a hankering to park a hybrid in your driveway. As the icing on the cake, there’s even a chapter devoted to alternative fuels—ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen, natural gas and electricity.
All in all, The Essential Hybrid Car Handbook is a winning proposition at $14.95. We encourage you to pick up a copy and learn why putting yourself behind the wheel of a hybrid might be one of the best things you’ve ever done—for yourself and the earth.
