2009 Nissan Altima, 2009 Toyota Camry, 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Comparison
2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid, 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid, 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid - Hybrid Sedan Comparison - Automobile Magazine
For those looking to buy a normal-looking sedan with the exceptional fuel economy of a hybrid, tThe 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid, and 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid are the three most logical choices.

Gas prices have been as volatile as the stock market lately and experts assure us both will be rebounding, though nobody knows exactly when. Investing in the market now, though it might seem counterintuitive, could set you up for a handsome reward in the future. The same goes for buying a new fuel-efficient automobile. If you purchase a hybrid vehicle today, when demand for fuel-sippers is relatively modest, you'll probably end up getting a better deal on the car and you're also insulating yourself from future spikes in gasoline prices. Think of it as an automotive hedge fund, but without the sleazy Wall Street guys and enormous bonus scandals.
