..a hybrid from Honda
The Civic Hybrid is the latest hybrid model from Honda. It is designed to be more environmentally friendly, has an elegant interior that features the latest in automotive industry, and features great performance in whatever road condition.
A hybrid vehicle is one that combines a gasoline powered engine with an electric motor. This provides better gas mileage and decreases the emission. The thing I love most about hybrid vehicles is the fact that it doesn’t need any especial kind of fuel. It uses the regular unleaded gasoline.
