Hybrid Vehicle Savings.

Most typical drivers estimate they spend less than $20 a week in gas for their hybrid. This is due to the fact that hybrids get better mpg than conventional gasoline powered cars. Each hybrid model varies with its mpg, however it is estimated that the average mpg for a hybrid vehicle is around 46. It is estimated that if you own a vehicle that gets 21 mpg, you will spend an average of $8,500 a year on gasoline. If you own a hybrid that gets 46 mpg, you will save over $4,600 a year, spending only $3,900 on gasoline. If you buy a hybrid that gets 55 mpg or more, then you will save between $500 and $1000 more a year compared to a 46mpg hybrid.
