Emissions

Hybrids emit fewer pollutants into the air.
Since hybrid vehicles are more fuel-efficient than their gas-only counterparts, they burn less fuel and, therefore, emit fewer emissions. In fact, it has been estimated that hybrid vehicles cut harmful greenhouse emissions by up to 90 percent. Furthermore, full hybrids like the Toyota Prius and Ford Escape Hybrid can run on electric power alone (up to certain speeds) and allow the gas engine to be shut off when at a complete stop. Relatively inefficient gas-only vehicles, however, are always running in stop and go traffic and at stop lights.
