The price of gasoline and fuel has been reported to increase once again. And this just after seeing the price of gasoline drop last month.

In the state of Illinois, the American Automobile Association (AAA) reported that the price of gasoline has increased by as much as 30 cents per gallon, while the average increase across the state is estimated to be 25 cents per gallon over the month of February. The increase in the price of gasoline saw it rise eight cents more than the price last year for the same month.

The dependency on foreign oil makes the country susceptible to these price increases in the price of gasoline. That is why car buyers are looking for new vehicles with a good fuel economy rating.

In the automotive industry, car manufacturers have developed a solution to the demand for fuel efficient cars. Hybrid vehicles are the answer of car manufacturers to the continued increase in the prices of gasoline. These vehicles are equipped with a small engine and an electric motor which generates additional power to help the engine.

Toyota has started the hybrid revolution in the United States and the popularity of the Prius, Toyota's hybrid car, has spawned a lot of hybrid vehicles to be offered to American car buyers. Different car manufacturer now offer a wide range of hybrid vehicles for the fuel consumption conscious car buyer.

Toyota, which started the hybrid revolution, offers the Prius - the first hybrid in the U.S. Aside from the Prius, Toyota also offers two hybrid versions of their more popular models. They offer a hybrid version of the mid-size sedan Camry, and of the popular SUV Highlander.

Aside from the Toyota division manufacturing hybrid vehicles, the company's luxury brand Lexus also offers hybrid vehicles. Lexus offers the G45h hybrid, the 600hL hybrid, and the RX 400h hybrid. Aside from Toyota, other Asian brands have also capitalized on the increased demand for clean and fuel efficient vehicles.

Honda is offering a hybrid version of the Accord in response to the Camry hybrid. Aside from the Honda Accord hybrid, Honda also offers a hybrid version of the compact sedan Civic and of the Honda Insight.

Meanwhile, Nissan, another Asian brand also offers a hybrid car in its lineup - the Nissan Altima hybrid complete with Nissan cargo liner.

While Asian brands have clearly taken control of the hybrid vehicle market in the U.S., domestic car manufacturers are also making their bid to satisfy the demands of American motorists for fuel efficient vehicles.

General Motors, for example, has four hybrid vehicles offered in the market. The GMC Sierra is one of the more popular models from GMC and General Motors saw that a hybrid version of the Sierra will be accepted warmly by the public.

Aside from the GMC Sierra, GM's Chevrolet division also produced a Chevy Silverado Hybrid car for those who want the versatility of big vehicles without having to sacrifice fuel efficiency.

Another General Motors owned brand, Saturn, is also offering hybrid vehicles in its Green Line model lineup. The Saturn Vue is one of the models from Saturn with a hybrid version. The other hybrid vehicle from Saturn is the Aura Green Line hybrid vehicle.

Honda Preserves Its ‘best Automaker' Standing

Strategic Vision Inc., the San Diego-based company which is responsible for the annual vehicle competition, has released its results. According to their survey, Honda Motor Co. is still the 'best automaker' for this year.

Strategic Vision has surveyed over 64,000 individuals who have purchased new vehicles from October 2005 to March 2006. Respondents have been questioned subsequent to 90 days of ownership. The company's purpose in coming up with the survey is to know whether said purchasers are satisfied. Also, said survey is aimed at gauging the performance of automakers.

Honda Motor Co. has hold on to its survey ranking. Toyota Motor Co., on one hand, has won in 3 categories but lost in some segments of the competition. General Motors Corp. has won in 4 segments. Hyundai Motor Co. has alleviated its standing by enhancing Kia parts integrated in Optima, Azera, Sedona and Tucson. Optima grabbed the top spot for the medium car category. Azera and Sedona also bagged the top commendation for large car and minivan, respectively. Finally, Tucson was dubbed as the top-ranked small SUV.

Honda's preservation of its ranking was drawn from the success of Civic, Accord Coupe and Pilot. Honda Civic won in the compact pickup category with the Ridgeline. Honda Accord Coupe, made it big in the mid-specialty car segment. Honda Pilot was declared the top medium crossover SUV.

"One thing about Honda that is just really clear: They have the strongest brand equity of any brand out there," says Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision's automotive research group. "But Toyota has been moving slower than other brands when it comes to innovation."

Edwards mentioned Ridgeline as one of the great contributions of Honda. So far, said model is one of the most costly compact pickups. It is equipped with power Honda parts including the revolutionary tailgate and a folding rear bench seat. "Such features, combined with Honda's perceived reliability and durability, help boost the brand's value," says Edwards.

Edwards further noted that Toyota must be careful not to become complacent. He added, "Everybody is looking at them and asking, where are they weak?"

Is it possible to put a mustang motor into a 1991 honda accord?

I have a 91 Honda accord just got a paint job on it 2,000 dollars, but in a 800 dollar sound system and I'm looking forward on doing a little maintainence on the carpet. But can I put a mustang motor into this car? No dumb answers please

In a word - forget it! There's no way the Honda will accept a 'Stang engine; besides being a front driver, the power of the Ford engine will tear it up faster than your wallet can empty (and THAT'S pretty darned quick!). If you're enamored of the Honda (and given the money you've wasted on it to date, you obviously do like the vehicle), why don't you just look into speed parts and/or engine rebuilds/modofications that actually are practical? Good luck!
