In the era of global warming rather a global warNing, however, all of the energy efficient standards and options aren't being employed. For something like purchasing a new vehicle, which is going to stay with you for a real long time and in use almost every day, here are a couple of links/notes that will make me/you atleast appear environment/energy savvy. These quite a recent updates are important when purchasing a green vehicle. And as is, it is up to the the goverment/rules which has to research/learn and enforce the law that will allow people follow the right way. After reading any of these articles though, we cannot do without commuting atleast hours a day avoiding polluting our quota, because of the vast distances to our offices, huh! ; then what are our motives. My motive is only to put forth and understand my self about planning the right thing and knowing what can be done to save our planet.
Hybrids are supposed to be environment friendly atleast in the suburbs where the travelling speeds are lower and because they are efficient at speeds around 30 mph. Also, because you break and start off at lower speeds quiet a few times, times when you need the most energy I believe.
Reports from rather new people, CNW research in 2007 states that cost wise from Manufacturing to its disposal, they rather call it the 'Dust to Dust Energy cost estimates of the vehicle'. What they stressed on are the vehicular average lifetime usages and costs to society over the vehicles lifetime. However I don't understand the fuel economy and lower emissions that I am interested in, as the cost is no longer a factor over global warming, isn't it.

And where are the results though??? Heres one of them that I found online. Unfortunately no results are officially in the news.

Alan states that people who are environmental friendly will no longer think about Toyota Prius anymore and the CNW study also puts Prius in between, so what cars are best then, forget about the $$.
Good response from Toyota over their row over usage of Nickel in making hybrid' batteries:

The truth I believe is again the Prius is better over a Hummer:

They put it well as a Anti-Hyprid drive... which I agree as they use a wrong estimate of average lifetime of Prius, about 100k miles whereas they use 300k miles for a hummer putting it above Prius in environment friendly standards.

As the words say,
spread the word - save the world
'Nobody tells you that travelling by any means of air transport results much much more CO2 emissions rather than travel by recent vehicles which are almost in line with the emission standards'
