You ask yourself where is the car that gets the best mileage out there, better than the hybrids. You think to yourself that maybe the dealer is hiding it in the back of the showroom for those who can pay a little more. I mean this car must surely exist. Could it be that there’s a compact conventional car there that gets better mileage than the hybrids? A small conventional is definitely not more fuel-efficient than a hybrid car because no conventional car is.

Maybe it’s a car that doesn’t run on fuel at all. You’ve seen those you-tube videos showing you someone who has his car running on vegetable oil. You figure that the automakers can do that, so where is that car?

Maybe it’s an electric car that doesn’t use any fuel. You can’t even compare an electric car to a hybrid since one doesn’t even use fuel. So where is this car?

The answer to all the questions you may have on fuel-efficient comparisons is…there isn’t any other car out there in today’s market that can get better mileage than a hybrid car. This is why the hybrid is such a popular car. If you look at the 2008 Toyota prius, you will see that it has a combined highway/city mileage of 46 miles to the gallon. All hybrid cars must get over the 40 miles per gallon mark

So after you looked high and low for any and all new discoveries out there that can compete with the hybrids, you can rest easy knowing that there isn’t one out there that can do it. So if you were afraid that after you purchased any new or used hybrid cars, that you would have found a better one, forget it. in this market, there is none that compare to the hybrids.

Don’t get me wrong though, in years to come there just might be a different type of vehicle that can beat the hybrids on mileage.
