Gas-Saving Vehicles for Long Island Drivers

Long Island driving creates a unique challenge. Many residents need a
vehicle every day, but their commute may include local roads, parkways,
expressways and heavy New York City traffic.

A driver commuting from Nassau County into Queens, Brooklyn or Manhattan
can spend a significant amount of time behind the wheel. For drivers
traveling from Suffolk County, the distance can be even greater.

Choosing a more efficient vehicle can help reduce the amount of gasoline
your commute requires. Depending on your driving habits and access to
charging, that could mean choosing a:

• Hybrid vehicle
• Plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV)
• Fully electric vehicle (EV)
• Fuel-efficient conventional vehicle

What’s the Difference Between a Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid and EV?

Hybrid Vehicles

A traditional hybrid combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor
and battery. The vehicle manages the system automatically, so you generally
do not need to plug it in.

For commuters who want better fuel efficiency without changing their
routine around charging, vehicles such as the
Honda CR-V Hybrid and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid can be attractive
options.

Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles

A plug-in hybrid, or PHEV, combines an internal-combustion engine with
a larger rechargeable battery and electric motor.

Unlike a conventional hybrid, a PHEV can be plugged in and driven for
a certain distance using electric power before relying more heavily on
its gasoline engine.

This can be useful for drivers who can charge at home or work but still
want the flexibility of a gasoline engine for longer trips.

Fully Electric Vehicles

A battery-electric vehicle eliminates the gasoline engine entirely.
Instead, the vehicle runs on electricity stored in its battery.

For drivers who have convenient access to home, workplace or public
charging, an EV can eliminate routine gasoline purchases entirely.

Models such as the Tesla Model 3 have made electric
vehicles particularly attractive to commuters because they combine
electric propulsion with the practicality of a four-door sedan.

Tesla Model 3: An Electric Option for the Long Island Commute

The Tesla Model 3 is one option for Long Island drivers
who are ready to move from gasoline to a fully electric vehicle.

For someone commuting regularly between Long Island and Queens, Brooklyn
or Manhattan, eliminating gasoline from the daily drive can substantially
change how the vehicle is fueled.

Instead of stopping at a gas station, EV owners with home charging can
potentially begin the day with a charged vehicle.

Turn Auto Mall’s inventory changes frequently, but we regularly offer
different makes and models, including electric vehicles such as the
Tesla Model 3 when available.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe: Plug-In Hybrid SUV Flexibility

Want to reduce gasoline use without moving completely to a battery-only
vehicle? A plug-in hybrid may offer the middle ground you’re looking for.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is a plug-in hybrid SUV.
It combines electric driving capability with a gasoline engine, giving
drivers the ability to plug in while retaining the flexibility of
gasoline for longer trips.

That combination can be attractive to Long Island drivers who need the
space and versatility of an SUV but also want an electrified option for
their commute.

For example, someone who can charge regularly may be able to use electric
power for portions of local driving while retaining gasoline capability
for longer trips across Long Island or outside the New York metropolitan area.

Honda CR-V Hybrid: A Practical Hybrid SUV for Commuters

The Honda CR-V Hybrid offers another approach. It combines
the practicality of a compact SUV with a hybrid powertrain without requiring
the driver to plug the vehicle in.

For commuters who want improved fuel efficiency but do not have convenient
access to charging at home, a conventional hybrid can be an easier transition
than a plug-in hybrid or fully electric vehicle.

The CR-V format is also attractive to drivers who need more cargo and
passenger space than a traditional commuter sedan.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid: Another Gas-Saving SUV Option

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is another popular type of vehicle
for shoppers looking to combine SUV practicality with a hybrid powertrain.

Like the CR-V Hybrid, the conventional RAV4 Hybrid does not require routine
plug-in charging. The gasoline engine and hybrid system work together
automatically.

Turn Auto Mall’s used inventory changes constantly. If a RAV4 Hybrid is
not currently available, shoppers can still check our inventory for
new arrivals or contact us regarding the type of hybrid vehicle they’re
looking for.

Mineola, Hempstead, West Hempstead, Valley Stream, Westbury,
Hicksville, Levittown, East Meadow, Bellmore, Merrick, Freeport,

For drivers making frequent trips west toward Queens, reducing fuel
consumption can make an efficient vehicle particularly valuable over
years of commuting.

Hybrid & Electric Cars for Suffolk County Commuters

The savings potential becomes even more relevant when your daily commute
starts farther east.

Turn Auto Mall also serves drivers from Suffolk County communities including:

Huntington, Huntington Station, Melville, Dix Hills, Commack,
Deer Park, Brentwood, Bay Shore, Babylon, West Babylon, Lindenhurst,
Amityville, Smithtown, Hauppauge, Islip, Ronkonkoma, Holbrook,

If you’re driving from Suffolk County toward Nassau, Queens, Brooklyn
or Manhattan several days each week, fuel economy and energy costs deserve
to be part of your vehicle-buying decision.

Commuting From Long Island to Queens

Many Long Island commuters travel into Queens for work every day.
Destinations may include Jamaica, Long Island City, Flushing,
Fresh Meadows, Bayside, Queens Village, Astoria and other Queens
neighborhoods.

Depending on where you live and work, that commute can involve the
Long Island Expressway, Northern State Parkway, Grand Central Parkway,
Cross Island Parkway and local roads.

Hybrid vehicles can be particularly appealing in mixed driving that
includes both highway travel and lower-speed traffic.

Commuting From Long Island to Brooklyn

Long Island residents commuting into Brooklyn can face an even longer
daily drive.

Whether your destination is Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint,
Bushwick, Brooklyn Navy Yard or another part of the borough, your weekly
mileage can add up quickly.

Moving from a less-efficient gasoline vehicle to a hybrid, plug-in hybrid
or electric vehicle may help reduce the amount of gasoline required for
that commute.

Commuting From Long Island to Manhattan & NYC

For drivers commuting into Manhattan or other parts of New York City,
vehicle operating costs extend beyond the purchase price.

Fuel or electricity, tolls, parking, insurance and maintenance all
contribute to the true cost of commuting.

That’s why choosing the right vehicle should involve more than simply
looking at its sticker price. A more efficient vehicle may cost differently
to operate over thousands of miles of annual commuting.

Should a Long Island Commuter Buy a Hybrid, PHEV or EV?

There isn’t one correct answer for every driver.

A traditional hybrid may make the most sense if you want
better fuel efficiency without needing to charge.

A plug-in hybrid may make sense if you can charge regularly
but still want a gasoline engine available for longer trips.

A fully electric vehicle may be the strongest fit if you
have reliable charging access and want to eliminate gasoline use from
your normal commute.

Before purchasing, consider your daily mileage, charging access, parking
situation, typical routes and longer-distance driving needs.

Home Charging Matters When Choosing an EV or Plug-In Hybrid

If you’re considering a Tesla Model 3 or another fully electric vehicle,
think about where you’ll charge before buying.

Drivers with reliable home charging often have a different ownership
experience than drivers who must rely primarily on public chargers.

The same consideration applies to plug-in hybrids. A PHEV provides the
greatest opportunity to use its electric capability when the battery
is charged regularly.
