One way for environmentally minded individuals to assist the earth is to purchase a green car. There are several different options for you to consider when choosing your new earth-friendly vehicle.
HybridsThe first thing you should know about hybrids is that they are constructed from lightweight materials to provide better fuel economy. Also, they are small cars that have a specifically designed fuel efficient engine. Another efficient benefit to a hybrid is the automatic shut off feature that stops the engine upon braking and then starts back up again when you shift the car into gear.
A hybrid is built to take advantage of a gasoline engine for power and an electric motor for accelerating. You won't have to worry about charging your car's batteries with a hybrid because they use the kinetic energy that the car creates during braking to restore their power. Furthermore, a hybrid car emits fewer emissions into the atmosphere and is fuel efficient. They are constructed to be aerodynamic for better fuel efficiency and the tires are made with special rubber that is capable of friction reduction.
Electric CarsThese environmentally beneficial vehicles offer many of the same benefits as a hybrid such as fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Another feature of an electric car is noise reduction. They are extremely quiet and you know that your vehicle is not adding to your city's noise pollution. If you decide to purchase an electric car, then you may also be eligible for government tax credits.
Natural gasThis type of vehicle uses compressed natural gas or a liquefied version to run. When you choose this option you will have a car that is less expensive to drive and maintain. A variety of manufacturers have opted to construct vehicles that run on natural gas including Mercedes, Chevrolet and Honda. Typically a vehicle that runs on this alternate fuel source will have less horsepower than a car fueled with gasoline. However, you will see higher fuel economy and a more affordable fuel supply.
Studies have shown that a natural gas vehicle requires less maintenance because it burns clean and doesn't leave residue behind like gas can. Furthermore, oil changes are advised every 10,000 miles with check-ups after every 100,000 miles. Also, natural gas engines are often still in use after 500,000 miles.
Once you have made the decision to take that extra environmental step and purchase an ecofriendly car, be sure to research your different options thoroughly to find the best vehicle to fit your lifestyle.
