An article about my country in the English speaking press

I have chosen an article "Cheaper Honda hybrids" from New Zealand Herald, because I am interested in environment and the price of petrol nowadays. For example, all over the world, we have a serious problem of global warming environmentally, and it is caused by carbon which is from electrical fittings, factories and car's exhaust gas. Furthermore, the posted price of crude oil is increasing substantially, so people who have cars are hard pressed to pay the petrol costs.
For the future, we should choose environment-friendly cars such hybrid cars. Hybrid cars use two or more different powers, very fuel-efficient and lower emissions than conventional cars. However, this kinds of cars have the disadvantages like expensive and charging time problems compare with between a hybrid and a gas car such as Chrysler, Ford, and GM. The above disadvantages, this Honda hybrid cars have improved and developed the cost and performance, as a result, US consumers is shifting to smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. The cost will about US$1900 which is the difference between the hybrid and a standard gas car model, and it is coming out in the US, Europe and Japan in early 2009. The price gaps between this hybrids and their comparable standard models are from $2543 to $38145. As recently, consumers of buying hybrids moved from concern for environment to high fuel prices.
