Hybrid Cars and Saving Gas Money
In the event of the current economic headwinds that have hit the US economy and gas prices, Hybrid cars have emerged as the panacea to these crises. But do hybrid cars really save gas money? Hybrid cars are designed to use both electric and gasoline to run its engines. The most important aspect of this type of design though is its effect on the environment. This type of design reduces carbon emission compared to the usual car engine design. Hybrid cars are dubbed to be 'green' cars or 'environment-friendly' cars. But other than this aspect, Hybrid cars also reduce the use of gas because of the electric part of the engine. So, to answer if Hybrid cars save gas money: yes they do. However, in evaluating 'buy or not' decisions, the gain or savings from use is not the only thing to consider. The cost of acquiring should also be considered.
Hybrid cars usually cost an average of over five thousand more than the regular non-Hybrid cars. There are even those premium Hybrid cars that cost over two thousand than the regular non-Hybrid cars-a ridiculously high price for a car that's supposed to be the panacea of economic crises. The next thing that would be worth looking into is the gas savings on Hybrid cars. According to research, Hybrid cars are supposed to save you somewhere between two hundred to six hundred dollars in gas money every year. If you do the math, your breakeven point would be somewhere between five to more than ten years, depending on the cost of the car.
If, you are currently looking for a way to save on gas, then shelling out cash to purchase a car that's five thousand higher than regular cars should be properly evaluated. You will be looking at a breakeven point of five years or more. And if you do not hold your car for more than five years, then buying a Hybrid car is clearly not an option for you using the cost factor. When it comes to the environmental benefit from Hybrid cars, there is no question on its benefit. Yes, it would be a good idea to do your part on saving the environment, but will holding the cost of a Hybrid car save your purse from being emptied?
Gas mileage using hybrid cars is better for city driving rather on highway driving. So if you're considering buying a hybrid car, then your location should be another factor you should weigh. Yes, hybrid cars save gas money, but more in city driving. If you do highway driving more, then the savings on gas would be lesser and you will be looking at a longer breakeven period.
Hybrid cars do save gas money but requires a higher holding cost and a longer breakeven point. If you are planning to go for Hybrid cars to reduce gas money, then you should consider the cost, your location, the breakeven point and holding the car beyond that point.

The grade of gas has nothing to do with mileage. An octane rating is nothing more than a measure of resistance to "knock" in your engine. Trust me on this one, I’ve worked with gasoline for many years.

unless you are driving an exotic sports car, your car will not get better gas mileage with premium gasoline, that’s an old rumor that refuses to die

The answer is depends. I am saying that, because of the increased price of the premium gasoline. Since premium gasoline is more expensive compared to regular, gas stations have greater margin by adulterating premium gasoline (usually with oil, because it is cheaper than water!). So, the answer to your questions is that premium gasoline is better for the engine and for your wallet only when it of good quality.
References :
July 17th, 2009 at 9:44 am
I’ve noticed that too.
But your car won’t do any better on premium gas than whatever it was designed for (usually 87 octane).
If you need 89 or 91, you need it to prevent engine damage, not just for better mileage.
That said, you if you are up-shifting very aggressively (lagging the engine at low revs with the throttle mostly open), then you could be getting pinging, knocking and the resulting loss of power (=efficiency) that could be cured by stepping up one grade. But very few people know to, care to, or choose to drive that way most of the time. The car is slow to accelerate, chugs and surges, and you have to watch revs much more closely. It just isn’t a lot of fun to drive like that just for a few more MPG.
But, if these prices remain stable, higher-compression engines would have less of a fuel cost penalty compared to standard compression engines. So maybe it effect your car-buying decisions. But most high-compression engines are sized and tuned for performance, not for fuel economy.

No MPG is gained from changing grades.
Very few cars require premium, and those that do
modern ones at least, have knock sensors on the engine to adjust for either fuel.

zzmac,
I have a solution that helps your gas mileage without switching gas-grades. In fact, as per some of the testimonies, many people have been able to downgrade their gas-grade to regular unleaded by using Ethos Fuel Reformulator. It increases your gas mileage by an average of 19%.
Does it work?
Well, it’s a leap of faith, but the videos are what persuaded me – http://www.ethosathome.com/ – I took the chance and am on my 3rd tank on each of my cars using the product. I drive two 2006 Hondas – a Civic & a Pilot – so I wasn’t expecting much improvement since they’re brand new.
Here’s some results I’ve had so far. On the ‘06 Civic, I’ve always averaged about 32.5 mpg and would get about 390 miles on a tank. With the 3 tanks using Ethos, I’m now averaging 35 mpg and 420 miles on a tank. To me, that’s pretty good for a brand new car. The same thing goes for my Pilot – it’s gone from 19.5 mpg to 21.75!
It’s ultimately up to you, but I’ve had good success and had nothing but great reviews from people I’ve invited to try a bottle.
Anyway, you can also check the corporate website – http://www.4-ecorp.com/batchelm93 – and let me know if I can answer any other questions.

NO, NO, NO!!!
People who say and think that octane ratings correlate to gas mileage are perpetuating a huge falsehood!
Octane ratings are strictly a fuels ability to resist knock, ping, detonation or pre-ignition…NOTHING ELSE!!!
This rating has nothing to do with the fuel BTU (energy content)!
Yes, certain gasoline is more efficient than others. Usually better name brand gas has beneficial injector cleaning additives which in the long run could give you better mileage. One tank is not enough to tell which one has the better additives. One tank IS enough to tell which one has the better BTU. If you try a "super" rated gas (slightly higher octane) lower price (lower BTU) you will get lower mpg. If you car CAN burn regular and the owners manual recommends regular (85-87 octane) then you will increase your operating expenses by putting higher octane fuel in this car!
That’s what we all seem to want right? higher operating expenses? That’s what premium will get you if you don’t need it. Premium is strictly for vehicles with a higher compression ratio or supercharged (turbo, roots type supercharger, etc.) intake systems. If you want to waste your money and get the same mileage then burn premium…it won’t hurt your engine but it won’t do you any good. If you FEEL that it makes your car run better, longer, stronger, faster or any other things that you might FEEL then go ahead; your peace of mind is certainly worth the added average of $230 a year. It won’t hurt your car and if it makes your heart feel good then go ahead and waste the money. The gas stations will make more money from you and with their higher profits they will be able to lower the margin for the regular gas for me.
Bottom line? Clean your injectors every 10-20k miles (regardless of which gas you use) and burn the gas with the lowest price and highest BTU that’s recommended by the manufacturer (regular for low compression and premium for others)
10% alcohol blend will give you less mileage but some vehicles can claim a better cost-per-mile due to the reduced price.
Don’t fall for the myth about octane means mileage; it just absolutely doesn’t!
