It is a complicated and controversial topic. By using them do they save petroleum energy/gasoline - probably because they do produce better gas mileage. However, the electric energy that they store while charging their batteries MUST be generated at a power plant somewhere. By generating electricity to recharge the cars batteries the plant itself consumes energy and produces byproducts (i.e.- coal/gas/nuclear). Therefore the question as to whether a hybrid actually "saves" energy cannot truly be answered with a simple yes or no. There are many other factors that need to be taken into account.

Best Energy Efficient Cars?
While hybrids are more efficient than the standard vehicle, some hybrids are more energy efficient than others. All hybrids have an electrical engine that allows electricity to be used in times of need in order to support the gasoline engine thus using less gasoline. Many hybrids today have very high gas mileage and are very energy efficient. While some models get 40-60 miles per gallon, the Nissan Leaf gets 106 miles per gallon.
