How to choose between gas, diesel, hybrid and electric cars?
I’m buying a new car, and I’m not sure what direction to go in. How do I choose between gas, diesel, hybrid and electric cars?

A standard gas car is no longer the obvious decision with the additional vehicle options today. If you want to choose between a gas, diesel, hybrid, and
electric car
, you’ll have to weigh the advantages of each.In addition, concerns about the environment and emerging technology are now factors that determine what car the average person gets. With that said, it all comes down to your lifestyle needs and preferences. Here are some advantages that may help you make a decision.
Advantages of liquid-fueled (gas, diesel) cars:
- Lower purchase price.
- Average range of 300-400 miles on a full tank of gas.
Advantages of electric cars:
- No tailpipe emissions
- Less maintenance, no oil changes, fewer parts to replace.
Advantages of hybrid cars:
- Increased fuel economy.
- Fewer trips to the pump.
Whichever you choose, you’ll need to ensure that your vehicle has the best available car insurance policy.
