Will Buying a Hybrid Car Save on Petrol?
When you drive up to the petrol station pump and fuel your car up with $10-$50 worth of gas, you may find yourself releasing a huge out sigh. How on Earth did fuel become so expensive? Should you consider one of those new hybrid cars you saw on the TV? Everyone's talking about hybrid cars anyway. Hybrid cars and other types of cars may seem like a good idea, but before you go out and do something you'll regret, perhaps you should ask yourself some basic questions about how you can start to save money on fuel.
Nowadays, there are so many options out there including everything from staying home to purchasing a hybrid car, but you have to find out what is best for you personally and you can best do that by posing yourself the following questions.
Perhaps you should drive less often?
Of course, you could spend the rest of your life in the house on the couch, but how would you eat then? I know what you're thinking! You will walk more and so get more exercise. That could be true, but what will happen when you get bored with walking or riding your bike? How are you going to be able to get to the gym then? And, have you forgotten about work? You know you love listening to your books on tape while you are sitting in traffic at the end of the workday. Should you drive less? Probably not then. But what should you do? Well, have you ever considered buying a hybrid vehicle?
Perhaps, I should buy a car that is more economical on gas?
Yes, you could do this, but what about when the vehicle starts to depreciate with age and it becomes less fuel-efficient than you thought it would be? Moreover, subconsciously, because you know you have a car that gets more mileage per dollar, you are going to start travelling more miles than you traveled before.
How about getting up earlier each morning to look for the cheapest gas prices in the area?
Honestly, who has the time for that? If you think about it, you could probably spend your time better finding the right answer to the real question. Do you really want to spend extra time looking for a cheap gas station? What will your boss think if you arrive late for work and tell him you were trying to save money on gas? And really, how long do you think you'll keep doing that?
Should I find a way to run my car on electric?
Let's see, you certainly don't want to have to recharge your car's batteries every day before you go to work because that might make you late as well. However, with a hybrid car, that would not be a consideration. Therefore, the next question should be obvious.
Should I purchase a hybrid car?
Perhaps you should. It's possible that buying a hybrid car could be a sensible way to avoid paying higher gas costs. Will your car depreciate right after you drive it off the forecourt? A hybrid won't do that so readily as it brings the buyer in more and more money as they save on fuel. A hybrid car just might be a good solution here. However, it is always a good idea to conduct further research before buying a hybrid car. - 21392
