Petroleum is a fossil fuel, and an example of
a nonrenewable resource. Gasoline powered
cars run off of petroleum products.
However, there are energy efficient
technologies such as the hybrid car shown in
the picture that reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Why do you think hybrid cars are an
example of energy-efficient vehicles? Can
you think of any other modes of
transportation that increase energy
efficiency?
Answer: The reason the hybrid car is better for this is that it is electrically powered to run or at least some of them. therefore thanks to this people can drive without affecting the ecosystem like with petroleum or fossil fuels.
