Because the process of manufacturing many low emission vehicles (LEV), for example, a hybrid engine, is more technology intensive, and therefore more expensive, than the process of manufacturing a standard gasoline engine, the up-front cost of a hybrid automobile is greater than that of a car with comparable performance.

Fuel consumption monitor from a 2006 Honda Airwave.The displayed fuel economy is 18.1 km/L (5.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg ‑US). A Briggs and Stratton Flyer from 1916. Originally an experiment in creating a fuel-saving automobile in the United States, the vehicle weighed only 135 lb (61.2 kg) and was an adaptation of a small gasoline engine originally designed to power a bicycle.
As of early November 2010, the US average spread between the price of E85 and gasoline was 13.4%, while in Indiana was 10.1%, in Minnesota 20.3%, 18.3% in Wisconsin, just 2% in Maryland, 16.3% in California, and 7% in Utah. [25] Depending on the vehicle capabilities, the break even price of E85 has to be between 25 and 30% lower than gasoline. [3]
With a new year comes new opportunities -- financial, personal and otherwise. A new year also brings the chance for a new ride, with more and more new models hitting showroom floors. Consider This ...
Even without an all-wheel drive model, and what True Car describes as a slightly “underpowered” base engine, the Kia Niro still offers the best fuel economy ratings for an SUV in 2025 at up to ...
For gas cars with the best gas mileage, Honda offers the following: The 2024 Honda Civic starts at $23,950 with 35 mpg combined. The 2024 Honda Accord starts at $27,895 with up to 29 mpg in the ...
When all factors are considered in DoE's formula, the energy efficiency or equivalent fuel economy of electric vehicles increases, being calculated in miles per the petroleum-equivalency factor of 82,049 Wh/gal rather than miles per the usual gasoline gallon equivalent of 33,705 Wh/gallon, for the purposes of CAFE credits to manufacturers.
Prices inflation adjusted to 2008 dollars. In 2002, a committee of the National Academy of Sciences wrote a report on the effects of the CAFE standard. [2] The report's conclusions include a finding that in the absence of CAFE, and with no other fuel economy regulation substituted, motor vehicle fuel consumption would have been approximately 14 percent higher than it actually was in 2002.
