Hybrid Car ResourceThere are all types of great resources online for finding out all aspects of hybrid culture. For finding out about the technical emission and miles-per-gallon aspects of hybrid green vehicles, there is the Fueleconomy.gov website from EPA, which is the United States government's official site for such information. From there, you can compare available hybrids' MPG figures to those of traditional engine ones. The technology behind hybrids, the 'how' behind all those magic MPG numbers is also fascinating. Even in this regard, the Fueleconomy.gov site can help, with a little help from Flash animation: fueleconomy.gov/feg/hybridtech.shtml However, the car manufacturers have dedicated whole websites to demonstrating their perspective takes on hybrid engine technology. Toyota's site for Hybrid Synergy Drive is one of the better ones, at hybridsynergydrive.com At the site, there are several great short movies demonstrating how the engine works, which cars have these motors, and what are the benefits to an average driver. For those looking for actual user experiences, there are not too many enthusiast sites out there for hybrids. However, one, at greenhybrid.com has a quite active forum, real life mileage statistics from visitors who have contributed, a hybrid car wiki, and more.
