Here are three benefits of hybrids vehicles to consider:

¢ Better mileage. It’s a simple fact that hybrids get better gas mileage than gas-powered cars. Whatever the make, a hybrid can always one-up its traditional counterpart on fuel efficiency.

¢ Auto insurance discounts. Some auto insurers have been offering discounts on insurance for hybrids. Discounts do not apply in every state, so ask first.

¢ Tax breaks and benefits. Many states offer tax breaks and other assorted perks. Of course there are disadvantages to buying a hybrid as well, including a higher sticker price. Hybrids cost, on average, $2,000 to $3,000 more than a comparable traditional car.
