Hybrid cars  There is quite a lot of hype about Hybrid cars in the news at the moment, so we thought it was a good idea to give you a brief rundown on them.
A hybrid car is a car that uses electricity as well as petrol to power the motor. It uses a conventional petrol engine which is supplemented by an electric power plant. Hybrid cars are more environmentally friendly as they use, on average half the amount of fuel of a traditional petrol car of the same size. Having smaller petrol engines, the electric power plant will kick in when you need more acceleration. It means you can drive a bigger car whilst still being fuel efficient. Hybrid cars do drive a little differently as you can feel the engine switching from petrol to electric as you drive, especially in traffic. Currently (2008) there are three hybrid cars available in Australia: Toyota – Prius Honda – Civic Hybrid Lexus – 400h For more handy car care tips grab yourself a copy of Galmatic - the Car Care Handbook for girls.
