If each hybrid vehicle will have an average cost of 26,000, what will be the cost per non hybrid vehicle? Round to the nearest whole dollar.   B. Suppose furthermore the White House said that by replacing less efficient vehicles the government will reduce gasoline consumption by 1.6 million gallons per year and prevent 23 million pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.
