Why An Old, Used Honda Civic Hybrid Is Good For Your Health - Green Car Reports

We all know that the venerable Toyota Prius is the most well-known of all hybrids on the market today, both in terms of numbers made and its impressive gas mileage. But if you’re in the market for a used hybrid you might be surprised to know that a used 2006-2010 Honda Civic Hybrid might be actually better for your family’s health than its more popular rival, the 2004-2009 Toyota Prius. It isn’t just about gas mileage. Logic dictates that a car with a high gas-mileage physically consumes less gasoline per mile driven than a car with a low gas-mileage, right. Less energy in equals less waste -- but what gas mileage figures can’t tell you is how much of the gasoline which goes into the engine comes out of the tailpipe as harmful gasses. After all, increasingly large concentrations of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere is cited as the number one reason for increased global temperatures -- otherwise known as global warming.
