            | 
                       
|  |  | | Benefits of the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) include:  Up to 65 miles per gallon (generally 40-50)/Up to 700 miles per tank.  The electric motor is recharged by the gas engine and therefore does not need charging.  Purchasers may be eligible for a tax break of up to $2,000, plus a partial refund of sales tax.  HEVs produce less pollution.
