Hybrids-Not what they are cracked up to be

While doing some research this evening I came across this article about the true fuel economics of the hybrid cars we have all heard so much about. Some interesting findings of Comsumer reports were...

"Hybrids, which typically claim to get 32 to 60 miles per gallon, ended up delivering an average of 19 miles per gallon less than their EPA ratings under real-world driving conditions (which reflect more stop-and-go traffic and Americans' penchant for heavy accelerating) according to a Consumer Reports investigation in October 2005. For example, a 2004 Toyota Prius got 35 miles per gallon in city driving, off 42 percent from its EPA rating of 60 mpg. The 2003 Honda Civic averaged 26 mpg, off 46 percent from its advertised 48 mpg. And the Ford Escape small sport utility vehicle managed 22 mpg, falling 33 percent short of its 33 mpg rating."... click here for the full article

Now with all the documented test and hundreds of testimonials I am happy to say that Bitron more than lives up to its promises. Remember, there is a better way.... don't be the one making extra trips to the pump.

Cheers,
