Like I said...buy used! Maybe Richard mised the point of my post? A used economical toyota with regular engine will contribute less pollutants to our environment than any new car that has to be made. I recomended an economical car not a SUV his Prius may get 50 mpg in the city, that just proves what I said, but if you do a lot of highway/counrty driving a hybrid is not the most economical car.

lol...your link is no more credible than mine Richard. I%26#039;m sorry I hurt your feelings with the Prius jab, it was so much more personal than calling someone out. You must be very sensitive to the fact you are not as eco-friendly as you wanted to be when you bought the car off the showroom floor. I can imagine the horror at the thought all the coal ash, mercury, and heavy meatals released into the environment to make that semi-answer to our problems. 43% 3 Votes

Walking or taking a bike is truly the best thing for the enviroment. I am of course saying this just for trips down the street or just a few blocks away. I don%26#039;t expect you to ride a bike to some where 50 miles away. Just remember that with even the best car those little trips can add up. 14% 1 Vote

I would have to say electric. As long as the electricity came from %26#039;green%26#039; sources. 29% 2 Votes

Both hybrids and electric cars draw almost all of their power from fossil fuels. Whether it is gasoline in the car or coal at the power plant. The electric is a little better because not all electric power is generated from fossil fuels (i.e, solar, hydroelectric, wind). Hydrogen fuel cell cars will soon be available to the masses. These would be even better for the environment. Every form of transportation, other than walking, takes some toll on the environment whether it be from the manufacturing process or the actual use of the vehicle. 0% 0 Votes

Depends on the use. No freeway, commute up to about 10 miles - a bike. Too far? An electric Zap will do that and a little more, recharging in the evening. Other electrics are out there with greater range and speed - see www.commutercars.com. For longer than 100 mile trips, a hybrid works well. The attraction of fluid fuels is the relatively quick refilling on multi-tank trips compared to recharging batteries. What you may be asking is whether a hybrid id cleaner than a plug in electric. I believe the electric wins due to the better exhaust scrubbers that can be put on a stationary power plant, compared to what can be put on a car. 0% 0 Votes
