Honda Car Forum

please help me and tell me what each system does to save gas

Both systems use the same general idea for their hybrid systems. The gas engine runs the car and when you brake, the friction energy is used to power a generator that is used to make the electric engine run the car. Honda had the first hybrid vehicle in the world, so they have a longer experience, but Toyota has more hybrid vehicles. They're both good.

Toyota had the worlds first production hybrid vehicle, the prius, in 1997 followed 2 years later by the honda insight in 1999.Both manufacturers use similar concepts so it comes down to what you prefer style/brand wise.

I think the Honda is better looking, but the Toyota quality and features rock. Toyota also gets better mileage. The Honda needs some more work, but I predict that Honda will soon catch up.
