Expanding Horizons Include the Ever Popular Honda Civic
Growing up I watched the Jetsons. I assumed as a child that by the time I was grown up we’d all be zooming around in flying space cars and shooting from place to place within the community through suction tubes. (But I always doubted the suggestion that we’d all have robotic housekeepers that exhibited a pretty solid personality. That was going a little bit too far). So you can imagine how disappointed I was when I had to take my driver’s test in a tried and true Honda Civic.
It was still a great day even though I didn’t get to fly my car through the various steps required to get my license. The Honda Civic was a trusted friend and performed like one! Honda Civic’s have a reputation for being solid, trustworthy and lasting. And that’s exactly what I found in my experience. It’s not a flying car, but it’s a good choice!
The Hybrid has offered opportunities to get one more step towards that futuristic society that left such a large mark on my perception of transportation in the city. The Honda Civic Hybrid gives me hope that someday we’ll make that next leap to something really wild and crazy! Because the Honda Civic Hybrid is pretty marvelous in its capabilities. It’s a great option for the future we’re all stepping into bit by bit today.
The Hybrid cars have spent a bit of time on the market already and that time has been spent well; adjusting and evolving to meet the needs of consumers so that they are ever more popular year after year. They are particularly more popular during times of high gas prices!
Here’s how the Hybrid works. The 1.3 liter, 95 bhp engine is constantly connected to the electric motor because the motor participates as part of the flywheel. So the crankshaft is constantly revolving even when power is being drawn straight (and only) from the electric motor.
The Honda Civic Hybrid has inlet and exhaust valves that are always shut to lower mechanical resistance. This allows no compressions or pumping losses. The regenerative braking is another notable feature of the Hybrid function. Using regenerative braking the Hybrid recovers energy when drivers use the brake pedal by using the electric motor as a generator. These features and many more work together to provide Honda Civic Hybrid drivers not only with an alternative to traditional fuel, but with a typical average fuel consumption that falls right around 58 miles per gallon!
