Hybrid Car Technology
For most of the lifetime of automobiles, propulsion has been provided by the gasoline or diesel powered internal combustion type of engine. There have been brief flirtations with steam, electricity, and vehicles that could use a variety of fuels, but most of these have fallen by the wayside as the gasoline engine pushed billions of vehicles down the road.
However, this single-minded dependence on petroleum-based fuels, and lubricants too, has placed the planet on the edge of a new future…a future without petroleum or, at best, with limited petroleum resources. Government, business, and designers have combined efforts to come up with some sort of solution to at least part of the problem of maintaining our present way of life with the fact of decreasing petroleum supplies.

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. However, no one seriously doubts that the price of gas will remain low for a long time. When the economies of the world recover, demand for oil will increase again and at the same time, this will harm the environment.
