Hybrid Car Emissions Scion 2006 XB Vs Honda Civic Hybrid 2009 Or 2008 CO2 Emissions, Whats The Difference In Emissions?

Scion 2006 xB vs Honda Civic Hybrid 2009 or 2008 CO2 Emissions, whats the difference in emissions? - hybrid car emissions

hello in thinking about either a 2006 or Scion xB Honda Civic Hybrid 2008 or 2009, I wonder which of these emissions in the Scion xB (or even a car this size) to a hybrid car compare?

According to the EPA, the 2006 Scion xB Automatic 6.6 metric tons of CO2 emissions per flown every 15,000 miles: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008car1t ...

The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid emits 4.4 tons flown CO2 per every 15,000 miles: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/compx2008 ...

Basically, the Civic Hybrid is 33% less CO2 than the Scion xB.

Personally, I prefer to go with a Toyota Prius, but the Civic Hybrid. The Civic Hybrid uses a CVT transmission belt friction drive and torque converter, while the Prius uses the electric motor with a gearbox PSD directly connected to the wheels toothgeared (the simpler and more sustainable).

And the 2009 Prius emits 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per every 15,000 flying miles: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/compx2008 ...
