A New Hybrid Is Your ticket to Saving Gas Money Without Sacrificing Range [Fatherly](%2F%2Ffatherly.com%2F%3Futm_campaign=34498%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/1/010001826a5f94bf-2a807694-2736-4bd0-b8c7-a9c1ede6c2f3-000000/aoerro8nv5wB0TExVISVHYgLB7g=281) Aug 04, 2022 Electric vehicles are getting all the headlines lately, but the hybrid has come a long way since the first Prius. Plug-in hybrids cut gas costs, are eligible for tax rebates, and have one thing that electric vehicles do not: the ability to skip the charging station. Electric vehicles are flooding the roads, but manufacturers are having trouble keeping up with charging stations. This means a lot of waiting and a renewed wave of range anxiety. Not so with plug-in hybrids. Don’t have time to charge? Lean on the gas. Have some time and a free charging station? Save some big bucks. Right now, it really is the best of both worlds.

Underinflated tires also cost fuel and cause premature wear. So it’s best to keep them pumped up to the manufacturer’s recommendation.” [01] Use Your A/C. Carefully. “The wind resistance generated by open windows has an adverse effect on aerodynamics, and fuel economy,” says DeLorenzo. “Modern A/C systems have become more efficient, so it’s best to keep the windows up.” That said, cranking the A/C to really cold temperatures can cost you fuel. “It’s just like your home,” he says. “The lower the temp, and the longer it runs, the more it will cost.” [Check out some more gas-saving tips here.Â](%2F%2Fwww.fatherly.com%2Flife%2Ftips-save-gas-this-summer%3Futm_campaign=34498%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/1/010001826a5f94bf-2a807694-2736-4bd0-b8c7-a9c1ede6c2f3-000000/rLPxBifoS6PLkMJr5jPLeoylRfI=281) Further Reading [Report: Electric Cars Are Cheaper Than Gas Cars In Almost Every State](%2F%2Fwww.fatherly.com%2Fnews%2Freport-electric-cars-cheaper-than-gas-cars-almost-every-state%3Futm_campaign=34498%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/1/010001826a5f94bf-2a807694-2736-4bd0-b8c7-a9c1ede6c2f3-000000/zvNjvpgjDBVu5GUT9OmQorWsOX4=281) [SUVs Way More Likely To Kill Kids Than Other Cars, Study Shows](%2F%2Fwww.fatherly.com%2Fnews%2Fsuvs-kill-kids-way-more-than-other-cars-study%3Futm_campaign=34498%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/1/010001826a5f94bf-2a807694-2736-4bd0-b8c7-a9c1ede6c2f3-000000/e8vzqTqQVOPiuXawq7lRQZgY7k4=281) [The Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition is A Trail Worthy Road-Tripper](%2F%2Fwww.fatherly.com%2Fgear%2Fthe-toyota-woodland-edition-sienna-is-a-trail-worthy-road-tripper%3Futm_campaign=34498%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/1/010001826a5f94bf-2a807694-2736-4bd0-b8c7-a9c1ede6c2f3-000000/g7cAk3dhvDBLtk2GWK5bxsNgfCY=281) PLAY %2F%2Fwww.fatherly.com%2Fentertainment%2Fair-force-one-25-anniversary-1997-harrison-ford-streaming%3Futm_campaign=34498%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/1/010001826a5f94bf-2a807694-2736-4bd0-b8c7-a9c1ede6c2f3-000000/1XratwAxrV4fpcZXkl5Ul3Peq84=281 [25 Years Ago, Harrison Ford Topped Indiana Jones With His Best Action Movie Ever](%2F%2Fwww.fatherly.com%2Fentertainment%2Fair-force-one-25-anniversary-1997-harrison-ford-streaming%3Futm_campaign=34498%26utm_medium=fatherlyDailyV2%26utm_source=newsletter%26utm_session=c37e7b32-5b18-4c2b-a3ac-adb88aa64d4e/2/010001826a5f94bf-2a807694-2736-4bd0-b8c7-a9c1ede6c2f3-000000/BOpExy5vuXSdn8ooabdfnyrdyJ4=281) Air Force One is a one-of-a-kind action flick.
