Does a Diesel Hybrid Car Get Better Mileage Than a Gas Powered One?
A diesel hybrid car in the form of several Volvo models will be available in the USA in 2011. That being said, they also claim they are more fuel efficient than their gas counterparts. While the most economic of the gas hybrids presently on the market in the USA claims a consumption of 51 mpg, the new Volvo diesel hybrid car claims 53 mpg. It’s a small savings, but a saving nevertheless. As time goes by, each and every modification aimed at fuel efficiency and emission reduction is of significance to the overall economic saving in terms of environment. Once one diesel hybrid car makes its appearance and proves itself, more diesel hybrid cars will follow.
