Pros and cons of a Hybrid Car?

Pros- Saves you on gas a little bit. Good for City Driving

Cons- you have to drive upwards of 150,000 miles to actually get the money back that you supposedly "save." If you are driving a lot on the highway there is no point for the added cost of the hybrid option because it only is effective during stop and go city traffic.

Personally, I don't see the real point in the added cost. It takes a lot of driving to get the money back. If you are concerned with helping the environment, get yourself a cheap economy car, and only drive when it's necessary. Invest in a bike, and maybe even a comfy pair of running/walking shoes. When it's nice out in the summer, bike or walk to where you need to go instead of firing up the car to go 5 blocks down the street. Not only does this help the environment, it helps you keep in shape. So when you're going somewhere not very far, try walking or biking instead of driving. That way you can save some cash instead of buying an expensive hybrid car.

Hybrid Synergy Drive $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) is a set of hybrid car technologies developed by Toyota and used in the companys Prius, Highlander Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Lexus RX 400h/RX 450h, Lexus GS 450h, Lexus LS 600h/LS 600hL, and Lexus HS 250h automobiles. It is also used in the Nissan Altima Hybrid. HSD technology produces a full hybrid vehicle and allows the car to perform on the electric motor only as opposed to most other brand hybrids which cannot and are considered mild hybrids; it also combines an electric drive and a planetary gearset which performs similarly to a continuously variable transmission. The Synergy Drive is a drivebywire system with no direct mechanical connection between the engine and the engine controls: both the gas pedal/accelerator and the gearshift lever in an HSD car merely send electrical signals to a control computer.

Honda Civic Hybrid $95.59 The Honda Civic GX is a passenger car that has been created to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). It is a derivative of the Honda Civic, and is sold only in parts of the United States. The Honda Civic Hybrid is a hybrid powertrain version of the Honda Civic sedan. It features a continuously variable transmission and Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system similar to that of the original Honda Insight. Integrated Motor Assist utilizes power assist hybrid technology. The Civic hybrid was introduced in February 2002 as a 2003 model, based on the seventh generation Civic. Along with the conventional Civic, it received styling update for 2004. The second generation Civic Hybrid is based on the eighth generation Civic, with some styling differences between the USDM and JDM models.

Hybrid Genetic Algorithms and Applications $140.19 Recently, Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) has become a popular tool for optimization. This book presents the established fundamentals in the area of GAs and vibration control as well as explores new and emerging technologies and techniques. The first part of the book presents novel optimization techniques by combining GAs with local search method which is called hybrid GAs. The second part focuses on application of the proposed hybrid GAs to the design of the suspension parameters of the half car model in order to enhance ride comfort and road holding performances. Different dynamical models of the half car are constructed and incorporated under different situations and assumptions. New mathematical models of road bumps are developed using Fourier series to induce excitation to the vehicle. New optimization problems that help in controlling vehicle vibration are discussed. This book will be useful to researchers and students in the field of automotive engineering, computer science, operations research, management science and applied mathematics. The readers will learn numerous new modeling ideas and effective algorithms, and find this work a stimulating and useful reference.
