Hybrid vehicles use two power sources, a gasoline engine and an electric motor. They automatically choose the best power option – whether to use only the motor or a combination of the motor and engine – depending on the circumstances for better fuel efficiency.
Although you drive a hybrid vehicle in the same way as you would an ordinary car, there are several tips to improve fuel efficiency. Why not use them wisely and become one of the many eco-friendly drivers?
Harsh braking is a primary cause of reduced fuel efficiency. Keep a safe distance from the car ahead so that you can apply the brake gently.
Aerodynamic resistance is proportional to car speed, which means the faster you drive, the more energy is needed to overcome the resistance and therefore more gasoline is consumed. Please note that fuel efficiency is sharply reduced at 90 kilometers per hour or more.
