Hybrid Car Comparison

The next winning midsize cars are the Nissan Altima Hybrid and the Toyota Camry Hybrid. The Altima has 42 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. This is very close to the Camry, which is rated to get 40 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Again, these ratings beat some of the compact hybrid cars, making them a good choice for a family car that would provide more interior space with less greenhouse emissions.

The midsize hybrid cars that probably will not save that much on the price of fuel compared to regular vehicles are the Saturn Aura Hybrid and the Honda Accord Hybrid. With a rating of 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway for both cars, it doesnt differ much from straight gasoline burning cars. However, they both still do fairly well on the scale for greenhouse emissions.

In compact hybrid cars, the Honda Civic Hybrid wins without argument. With a rating of 49 mpg in the city and 51 mpg on the highway, the owner of this vehicle can start saving money on fuel right away. On the greenhouse emissions scale, it is very close to the best rating. The worst compact hybrid in fuel economy guide is the Lexus GS 450h. This care costs the most of all the cars in this guide to fuel in a year since it gets only 25 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. It still has decent greenhouse emissions ratings compared to straight gas burning cars, but it ranks the lowest of the hybrid cars in the comparison.
