Driving Green – Go Hybrid With Toyota Prius

It has been every oil dependent countries’ dream that one day; they will rely less on oil imports and become self-sufficient for their energy needs. Such visions are unlikely to become a reality if alternative energy remains unattainable as a result of the continued low oil prices brought about by the on-going financial crisis of the world’s economy.

The United States has the biggest concentration of trucks, SUV and other large gas-guzzler on our roads than any countries on earth. The recent fall in gasoline prices at the pump is becoming an early Christmas present for thousands of car and truck drivers that will be hitting the road for family reunion during the festive season. While the consumers are in celebration mode, advocates for green energy, fuel economy cars and alternative energy are definitely in somber mood. For as long as prices at the pump remains low, there will be less concerted effort in pursuing fuel efficient technology.

When the economies of the world recover, demand for oil will increase again and at the same time, this will harm the environment.

Economical and Affordable Green Automotive Technology

Although hybrid cars are the rage, and there are all kinds of alternative energy sources on the horizon, hybrids are cost prohibitive, usually ranging $3000 to $7000 more than the gas only version of that model. However, instead of changing fuel sources, some automotive companies have been using a new type of transmission to improve fuel economy, lower emissions, and actually make vehicles faster without adding to the sticker price.

These companies are using a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and instead of having set gear ratios (or gears), it constantly varies the gear ratios, as well as engine performance, so that they both operate at their most efficient level in any driving scenario.
