Consider a hybrid vehicle with a sticker price of $31,500. This vehicle will average 30 miles per gallon of gasoline. A tax credit of $1,500 for the hybrid vehicle effectively reduces its sticker price to $30,000. A comparably equipped gasoline-only vehicle will cost $28,000 and will average 25 miles per gallon of gasoline. Assuming an interest rate of 3% per year and a study period of five years, find the breakeven mileage per year between the hybrid vehicle and the gas-only vehicle. All other factors remain the same and assuming the gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon

Motor Vehicle Insurance

Motor vehicle insurance is a contract between the insurance company that provides insurance cover and the person who owns the vehicle. According to the terms and conditions of the insurance contract, the insurance company reimburses the policyholder for losses and damages. This insurance policy covers the financial risks of the motor vehicle owner. Electronic vehicles are also covered in a vehicle insurance policy, but the insurance rate is relatively higher than other motor vehicle insurance. Motor vehicle insurance is otherwise called an automotive insurance policy.
