Should Cars Be More Efficient

There has been much heated debate about when the first car came out. Some say by a French engineer named Nicholas Joseph Cugnut with his steam powered military tractor in 1769 (242 years ago) and others say it was Carl Friedrich Benzs who gave us the first automobile that ran on gasoline in 1885 (126 years ago) but I can tell you the first electric car was by Anderson of Scotland in 1832 - 1839 (179 years ago) (Discovery Channel, 2010). Cars have been around for a very long time. Who would've ever thought that cars would be life necessity? Who would've ever thought that anyone and everyone would be driving a car? Cars are a way of life in today's society we no longer use horses or even walk to our next destination. With the growing population, having to meet life's demands and leisure we have growing emissions pollution problems and high costing oil and gas prices. Over the years scientists have been concerned over the global warming on the earth. There are many things that cause global warming but one of the primary causes is cars and trucks on the road every day and all day and never ceases. It has been over a century gasoline powered cars have made it easy for us to get around but it's time for a change with the growing need of supply and demand, we need to start finding other resources to power our vehicles, therefore, is natural gas powered cars better than hybrid cars? By driving more efficient vehicles, oil imports can be cut, money can be saved, jobs can be created, and it will help with global warming. With gas prices on the rise up, wouldn't you want to save money just by using more efficient cars, such as, the hybrid or the electric automobiles?

Hybrid electric vehicles combined with more than one power source offer additional flexibility to improve the fuel economy and to reduce pollutant emissions. The dynamic programming based supervisory presented here investigates the fuel-economy improvement and emissions of nitrogen oxides for a state of charge sustaining parallel HEV.

Hybrid cars are considered to be the car of tomorrow, because of the benefits it can give you. You will definitely want to get one for your own. In fact, more and more are now considering selling their conventional car and purchase a hybrid car. So why is it that more and more people prefer getting a hybrid car instead of a conventional car even if hybrid car retail prices are far more expensive?

With a hybrid car, you can cut fuel consumption in half compared to conventional cars. Hybrid cars will be able to give you maximum fuel efficiency. It will be able to give you far better mileage to the gallon of gasoline. Manufacturers have made it so that the engine of a fuel-efficient auto is smaller and will consume less gas. They have also made it to where the gas last longer in a fuel efficient auto oppose to a non-fuel efficient auto. Most people need an auto to go to work, attend school, or to go shopping and
