You do not have to spend a fortune on a hybrid car to save money on gas. In fact you can easily modify your own vehicle to run on a combination of gas and water and double your gas mileage. This article will show you how I went from 21 MPG to 39 MPG in my 1995 Isuzu pickup for just $105 total.
You may recall I wrote earlier about how quiet hybrids are, and the test conducted by the U.S. National Federation of the Blind's Committee on Automotive and Pedestrian Safety. And yes, a hybrid car running totally on battery power is so quiet a blind person, or even a sighted person not paying enough attention, could be in serious trouble when the hybrid "sneaks up" on them.
Last year I wrote about Solar Electrical Vehicles and their system for adding solar panels to the roof of your hybrid. It includes a supplemental battery pack and solar panels for the roof, which they said could increase MPG by 17% - 29% for a Prius.
