Hybrids probably have a very slight negative impact when compared to automobiles of similar size. They are far more complicated machines which will cost in terms of dollars and pollution. They are going to cost more to maintain and will probably not last as long this increasing their pollution footprint.
The hybrids shine in that they get about 10% (or more) better mileage then their non hybrid counterparts. This does reduce dependence on fossil fuels at the site of the automobile and increases the dependence on fuels at other places.
The two main points for buying a hybrid include "feeling good" about the environmental impact and a decrease in dependence in foreign oil. As far as environment, at best they are neutral.

How can you sort the alternative fuel cars in this book into two main groups?
You can sort the alternative fuel cars into two main groups based on their energy source: electric vehicles (EVs), which are powered by batteries and electricity, and hybrid vehicles, which use a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Additionally, you could further categorize them into fuel cell vehicles, which utilize hydrogen as fuel, and biofuel vehicles, which run on renewable biological materials. This classification helps in understanding the different technologies and their environmental impacts.
When is the 2013 solar eclipse?
Solar Eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and directly blocks the light of the Sun. Because the Moon is located between the Sun and Earth the dark side of the Moon is facing Earth and is in a New Moon Phase. An Annular Solar Eclipse is a solar eclipse in which the Moon's antumbral shadow traverses Earth (the Moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun). During the maximum phase of an annular eclipse, the Sun appears as a blindingly bright ring surrounding the Moon. An annular eclipse will be visible in Australia, New Zealand, and the Central Pacific on May 10, 2013. A hybrid solar eclipse is a solar eclipse in which the Moon's umbral and antumbral shadows traverse Earth (the eclipse appears annular and total along different sections of its path). Hybrid eclipses are also known as annular-total eclipses. In most cases, hybrid eclipses begin as annular, transform into total, and then revert back to annular before the end of their track. In rare instances, a hybrid eclipse may begin as annular and end total, or vice versa. A hybrid eclipse will be visible in the Eastern Americas, Southern Europse, and Africa occur on November 3, 2012.
How does the moon's gravity affect lunar rovers?
The vehicles used on the Moon were designed with the Moon's gravity in mind. They would not function correctly on Earth. So the answer is that the Moon's gravity affects the lunar rovers in the same way as gravity affects cars and other vehicles on Earth.... it is what keeps them on the surface, and prevents from from floating off into space.
