Are you planning on taking a summer trip in your Toyota cars this season? If so, you will want to remember to bring along some of your favorite road trip songs to make the time fly by. First, however, you should know what makes a song ideal for road trip. Here are some qualifications to help you decide what to bring.

• A good road trip song must be familiar. The best road trip songs are the ones that everybody in the car knows and likes. Classic rock songs make great road trip songs because most people have heard them many, many times. As such, you should be able to sing along with a good road trip song.
• A good road trip song talks about traveling, leaving or the open road. Songs like Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” Foghat’s “Slow Ride” or “Drive My Car” by The Beatles are all great examples of this qualification.
• A good road trip song makes you happy. Nobody wants to be sad when they are on vacation. That’s why your road trip songs should make you feel good and excited about your journey.

Use these qualifications when planning your summer trip in your Toyota cars and you will be sure to have a great vacation!

Can you imagine going more than a thousand miles on one tank of gas in your Toyota cars? That’s exactly what Rick Kearney, a Toyota Hybrid-Certified Master Diagnostic Technician is planning to do.

His 1,100 mile trip is going to stretch from North Palm Beach, Florida to Washington, D.C. The car, which is owned by Earl Stewart Toyota, is known as the Electric Green Machine. Kearney left Florida on Monday and plans to arrive in the nation’s capital next Thursday. Before leaving, the car’s gas tank was sealed with a tamper-proof cover so there is no chance of him cheating during the trip. When he gets to his destination, officials will check and verify that the fuel tank has not been opened, proving that Kearney made the trip on just one tank of fuel.

Normally, plug-in hybrids are not ideal for long trip. However, Kearney wants to prove that they are great for shorter commutes of about 40-50 miles. Since they are plug-in hybrids, drivers can worry less about the rising gas prices that seem to never end.

How do you feel about plug-in hybrids? Are they something that will make life easier or do they need to make major improvements before you would even consider purchasing one? Let us know what you think below.

It probably comes as no surprise that hybrid Toyota cars are some of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the entire industry. But it does not hurt to reiterate that point when new articles confirm the premise.

Because of the awesome fuel efficiency that hybrid Toyota cars are capable of, the Toyota Motor Company is one of the fastest growing automakers in the world today. The engineers have concentrated on making the automaker’s vehicles as efficient as possible through various kinds of technology. That’s why Toyota is the best and most recognized in the hybrid vehicle industry.

The Toyota Camry, for instance, gets nearly 35 miles to the gallon on average. That means these Toyota cars already meet the new efficiency standards that the federal government is implementing in 2016. The amazing thing is that the Camry is not the most efficient vehicle in the Toyota lineup.

The new generation of the Toyota Prius is poised to set a new standard in the hybrid industry. With an MPG rating of more than 50 miles per gallon, buyers are extremely interested in these uber efficient Toyota cars. In addition to the efficiency, the new Prius also offers exciting features like Traction Control, ABS and Vehicle Stability Control, just to name a few of the exciting features.
