While there is a lot of buzz surrounding hybrid electric cars right now, there seems to be a lot of misinformation relating to them, as well. I'll be trying to guide you through some of that I as I talk about the top five hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) that are available today.

Instead, you would pump a fuel that's readily available, North American-produced and virtually pollution-free. Many motorists could even fill up in their own garages every night just like they would power-up with one of the gas-electric plug-in hybrids stil

Hybrids are getting heavier, but they seem to bear their weight better than conventional vehicles when it comes to fuel efficiency, according to a recent study. In the study, the scientists found that the trend toward higher-performing hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) in the North American market is eroding the fuel consumption benefit of hybrid tec

For years, dogs have unequivocally been considered man's best friend. They provided companionship, love, and protection to all. In a pinch, a dog can even provide for a filling meal or by slicing a dog open and covering yourself in it's entrails, a dog can keep you warm through a cold winter's night.

Issued mostly from Japan with the U.S. closely and Europe a bit further behind, are those defined as having "two engines, combining the power and longevity of a piston engine with the zero emission efficiency of an electric motor."
