Best Hybrids For The Money Named
New and used car information site Cars.com has listed its editors' picks for the best hybrids for the money.
"Gas prices remain volatile, so as shoppers consider more fuel-efficient options, they should know how effectively hybrids deliver gas mileage for their dollar—if they do at all," said Joe Wiesenfelder, Executive Editor. "Simply because a hybrid gets great gas mileage doesn't necessarily mean you save money in the long run, because that same hybrid often comes with a higher price tag. To determine if the added expense is worth the cash, we analyzed overall cost compared to the car's efficiency."
