So you're thinking about buying a hybrid vehicle. And you're wondering what some of the advantages might be. Here are a few for you to mull over.
1. Fuel efficiency.
If you're sick of paying $40, $50, $60, or more to fill up, a hybrid could be what you're after. In fact, you can get 20 or 30 more miles to each and every gallon you put into a hybrid car.
Of course, the initial investment means it'll take a while to start truly saving money. Over the long run, though, driving a hybrid could free up some money in your budget.
2. Lower emissions.
A hybrid car uses a combination of electricity and gasoline. You can feel good knowing that a hybrid car has less impact on the earth than other cars you've owned.
3. Tax incentives.
Buying a hybrid could knock off up to $3,400 off your federal tax bill this year--and your state might offer even more incentives.
Perhaps Kermit the Frog was a touch off base when he said it's not easy being green.
