The Top Performing Hybrids

The list of the best cars both for the environment and for drivers' wallet had been compiled and at the top of the list are Toyota’s Prius and Honda’s Civic Hybrid. There are small cars that are using gas only that have shown impressive results simply because they are small and economize gas. The score was based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that has an air pollution score and a greenhouse gas score that have a rating from 0-10 and according to the finding there are no new cars that make it to the 10th score and the highest was 9.5. Cars that made it on the top list include 2007 Camry Hybrid and 2007 Ford Focus. Price-wise the Focus only costs $13,000 compared to the other cars where the average price was $20,000 and there are not hybrid cars that cost more than $35,000 except a few luxury hybrids like Lexus, which is new around and costs $55,000. The score works in such a way that those that score 10 emit no pollutants. And accordingly, a car scoring 9 would emit .02 grams of nitrogen oxide and 2.1 grams of carbon monoxide a mile.
