Hybrid cars!School survey?

blair questioned:

In what ways do the two sides’ environmental insights of hybrids clash from each additional? Which long-term look of the hybrid’s battery do you reflect is better off for our planet’s possibility with the conflict of global warming? Why?

Fuel efficiency of outboard motors for fish/ski boats?

jvelvetpants questioned:

I got a 16′ bass boat this summer and I am flabbergasted at how much gas it uses. I use 4-5 gallons everytime I go out fishing for a couple of hours and my motor is a 1990 Mercury 115 (2 stroke).

I am compelling into account being paid a new boat and am wondering about fuel state. My guess would be that smaller engines will burn less fuel and that newer engines (2000 or newer) will be more fuel efficient than older engines. But, I want to place my assumptions to you experts.

1) Will lower horsepower outboards get better “mileage” than larger ones?
2) Will newer engines get better mileage than older ones?
3) Do 2 stroke engines getter better mileage than 4 stroke engines?

Any additional insights that you have would be valued?

Which Hybrid car really gets the MPG and sleek design for a low price?

JasonXiao questioned:

Okay, I’m looking to buy a Hybrid car and I want a shiny top with a nice MPG rating for a low price. I don’t mind what year, maker, or model as long as MPG is >35 and the price is Low.

Links to spec and prices would be sweet.
