Are plug-in hybrid trucks worth the investment?
Yes. hybrid trucks usually offer better fuel economy than their gas-only counterparts. For example, the ford f-150 hybrid returns 23 mpg combined city/highway, while the next most efficient model in the line is a gas-only v6 with 21 mpg combined. No. Though a hybrid vehicle can operate in electric-only mode when gasoline is in the tank, it is not designed to run without gasoline. Doing so could cause severe damage to the hybrid system, so drivers should be sure to keep gas in the tank at all times.
