PEDAL TO THE MEDAL (2.0)
Honda Civic Hybrid took overall honours in the AA EECA EnergyWise rally that finished on Friday. A small victory in a "hybrid battle" that saw the Toyota Prius win the last EnergyWise rally.

In true love/hate fashion, the large car categories were dominated by Hyundai with Volkswagon achieving an honourable mention. It's in these big tin things that many Kiwi's explore the outdoors.

The Herald reported last week that recreational trips are a key contributor to New Zealands transport emissions. So again, if you must go large, Hyundai is the best motoring option.
