Hybrids
Although electric cars have been around since the inception of the automobile, a new breed of gas-electric hybrid autos were introduced in the US several years ago. Most of the major automobile manufacturers including GM, Honda, Toyota, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler have either introduced or are planning to introduce new hybrid models during the next several years. Annual 2004 new car sales on hybrids have increased by approximately 36 per cent in the US.Commercially available hybrid cars available in the US currently boast of 40+ miles per gallon of fuel. As this technology matures it is expected that fuel mileage will increase and some optimistic proponents even speculate that these cars may be capable of 100+ miles per gallon as hybrid automobile designs and technology improve.
