		<description><![CDATA[When looking at a signal car by itself, that call may look great. However, when you put two cars side by side one will stand out. The weakness of each are more easily seen. A white car against a white background is blends in to the background. When you put a red car or a black car against that white background it is easy to see the cars. This week we are going to look at two of the top gas/electric hybrids; the 2011 Chevy Volt and the 2011 Toyota Prius. In a effort to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges we will be looking at the Chevy Volt&#8217;s base 4 door Hatchback and Toyota&#8217;s 4 door Hatchback. Chevy launch the Volt in the later half of 2010. Since then it has quickly attracted shoppers. It wasn&#8217;t long before, in the public&#8217;s eye the Chevy Volt and the Toyota Prius were equals. These two gas/electric hybrid cars are marketed to people who are concerned about their environment and want to save money on gas. So we are going to make a side by side comparison of the two. The Volt has four seats, four doors, and a hatchback power by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was back in August of 2009 when I wrote about figuring what it would cost me to drive my Dodge Caravan one mile. Since then I have come across new information. It seems that I am not the only one who realizes that the old way of measuring a cars efficiency by miles per gallon leaves out too many variables. Since August of 2009, everyone that I have talked with have raised their eye brows. It is as if a light bulb was turned on in their brain. The old standard of miles per gallon can no longer a standard good for measuring return on money when driving. The new standard should be Cost Per Mile. Why are so many people interested in knowing the Cost-per-Mile?  Automobiles are no longer running just on fossil fuels.  Electricity is measured in terms of cents per kilowatt. The future cost automobile efficiency must be reflect. The Cost Per Mile or CMP ratings will eventually become the new standard. There has been in the last few year great discussion about Cost per Mile or CPM. This ranges from the fossil car fueled people, to the hybrid car folks, even the bicycle riding community are in discussion on the topic. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the day before Christmas. Many of us are looking for a fuel efficient, green car in our future. The Toyota Prius is to the 2009 what the Toyota Corolla was to the late 1960&#8242;s and 1970&#8242;s. Both cars are break through cars of their day. That is way the Toyota Corolla is still in production, with a new changes over the years. The Toyota Prius has become the standard for automakers when it comes to gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles. The popularity and sales history makes the Toyota&#8217;s first hybrid car very popular. Having the Prius do a cameo appearance on The Closer does not hurt its&#8217; reputation. Edmunds discribes the special power train 1.8-liter gasoline engine that produces 98 horsepower. Then the two electric motors gearing puts a total of 134 hp on the road. At FuelEconomy.gov the Toyota Prius is rated at 50 miles per gallon. That is the average. The high is 51 mph in town road and 48 on the open road. I thought this was backwards until I realized that the electric motors are more apt to be used in town than on the open road. You can buy this leader in green technology for just over $27,000.

		<description><![CDATA[This weeks Auto Recon is going to take a look at a new breed of car that is not on the streets. It is expected to be out next year or in 2011. Why am I doing a recon on something that is not currently available? The Chevy Volt is Chevy&#8217;s offering in the changing face of the automotive world. I am talking about fuel efficient, energy efficient cars. In fact the Chevy Volt is marketed for you and me as our first practical electric car. A $40,000 price tag is not bad for cutting edge technology. However, the Toyota Prius has got its&#8217; third generation on the street at just over $22,000 retail. I expect to see the Volt&#8217;s price go down after some of the R&#38;D costs are paid off, with sales. Now some of the expectations for this car of the future. A range of 40 miles on a single charge. Now if you are running low are you battery&#8217;s charge there is an on board generator which kicks in. Thus the Volt is not a pure electric car. It is classified as a hybrid. CNN Money reports that we could see a 230 miles per gallon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 70&#8242;s and 80&#8242;s there were jokes going around about Ford. People would take the letters of the word Ford and say make snide remarks like Fix Or Repair Daily, or Found On Road Dead. I haven&#8217;t heard any of those jokes for quite some time. That being said, My recon team wanted me to take note that the Ford Fusion enthusiast have their own website call FordFusion.net. It seems that people who own the Ford Fusion do like and enjoy the driving experience. The Ford Fusion is a nice clean sedan for commuters or for family second car. The hybrid version out shines the Toyota Camry. The article on HybridCars.com makes it sound like the Ford Fusion is the car to get, when it comes to hybrids. The Ford Fusion was introduced back in 2006. It was introduced as a very stylish front-wheel drive sedan. It has kept that reputation. The four-cylinder engine produces 175 horsepower from 2.5 liters. The 3.0-liter V6 now cranks out 240 horses. Sportier version has a 3.5-liter V6 engine that will get you going with 263 hp. Thus making this little sedan quite perky in traffic. A new Ford Fusion will cost you above $27,000, but you can get a [...]]]></description>
