The unit of energy consumed is deemed to be 33.7 kilowatt-hours without regard to the efficiency of conversion of heat energy into electrical energy, also measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The equivalence of this unit to energy in a gallon of gasoline is true if and only if the heat engine, generating equipment, and power delivery to the car ...
The Nissan Sentra proves that affordable and efficient cars don't have to look dorky. It's powered by a 149-hp 2.0-liter inline-four and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

However, since the tax on fossil fuels are relatively high in all European countries, including Switzerland, there is still an indirect, but quite strong incentive for car buyers to decide for energy efficient vehicles. Based on the following examples: Fuel economy: 7.8 L/100 km (30 mpg ‑US) unleaded; Driving habits: 15,000 km (9,300 mi) per year
With new cars selling for upwards of $30,000 on average, and overall fuel costs pushing what you pay at the pump to your wallet's limit, what kind of car you choose will directly correlate with how...
The following table compares EPA's estimated out-of-pocket fuel costs and fuel economy ratings of serial production plug-in hybrid electric vehicles rated by EPA as of January 2017 expressed in miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (mpg-e), [1] [2] versus the most fuel efficient gasoline-electric hybrid car, the 2016 Toyota Prius Eco (fourth generation), rated 56 mpg ‑US (4.2 L/100 km; 67 mpg ...
