Large Families Rejoice, Hybrid SUV's!

It is quickly becoming much easier to own a hybrid vehicle that isn't unbelievably small and incredibly ugly. Although to be fair about the small Honda Insight, their model looks to be much bigger. The Prius is still ugly but that's besides the point.

When the hybrids came out I thought it was weird that they decided to just make small compact cars. During the late 90's it was all about the big gas guzzling soccer mom SUV's and gigantic trucks that didn't just guzzle gas, but absolutely inhaled it like a football at an all you can eat buffet restaurant. It would have made sense to me if they started making these single digit MPG behemoths the first vehicles to receive this hybrid technology.

Well, the time has come. The large car companies have finally figured it out and the large vehicles have received a MPG boost. Instead of single digit MPG, the large SUV's can get up to 22 miles per gallon of gasoline. It's quite a boost in gas mileage and actually is worth considering if you have a large family. Up until now there were no options for those with more than three kids.

Tomorrow, I will be posting about the best ways to get the best gas mileage.
