Ford C-Max Hybrid vs Toyota Prius

Ford C-Max Hybrid

These are the most fuel efficient of all vehicles. These hybrids are not known for their speed.   You will not see them racing at the traffic light and they are not known for being the fastest in the uphill. These new models are up to the challenge. For the average driver that does not like traffic tickets they are fast enough to get the job done.  These models make up for their petite size with space saving features. They are the most fuel efficient of all hybrid vehicles .  They are the first of the hybrid vehicles. Some of these hybrid vehicles have technological advances that are state of art.

The competition is heating up between Ford and Toyota.   Companies must compete for your business.  Why not use a competition and show the advantages .  There is a competition between hybrids.  I hope the consumer comes out on top.

What do you think about 'Plug In Hybrids'?

We used to perceive a vehicle with an electrical charging port an all electric vehicle that had a range of a 100 miles or so.  We imagine running out of electricity some where with no way to charge it. (Not a good picture in your mind.)  Today, plug in hybrids have changed our perception and understanding of a hybrid vehicle's capabilities.  Some are boasting a combined 100 miles per gallon:fully charged.  "Hey, lets charge the battery at home and see what kind of gas mileage we can get"the engineers said.  Then lo and behold, out came this plugin hybrid.

2013 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium

 Ford is the most responsible for the recent increase in interest and sales.  Toyota is the king of the hybrid market, but Ford is rapidly biting into its market share and people are starting to take notice.   Ford Fusion Engeri Hybrid is its flagship plug in hybrid.  The Ford Fusion seems to be its spring board for new hybrid technologies.  The Ford Fusion Engeri Titanium is fully loaded with technological innovations. 
Ford is claiming 100 mpg-e(electric mode) 43 mpg in hybrid mode

2013 Toyota Prius

Toyota claims 95 mpg-e (electric mode) and the Prius Plug-in shifts to hybrid mode,  combined mileage rating of 50 mpg.   These fine vehicles come fully loaded, but they are the most expensive for hybrids in their class.   With gas prices continually rising,  you may want to consider a 'Plug in Hybrid'.  I am considering one for my next vehicle.    You may not be strapped for cash, but it is nice passing by the gas station and filling bi-monthly/monthly instead of weekly.  These are some of the most fuel efficient cars on the market.  Let's get more vehicles like this on the road and drive those gas prices down!
