Most car manufacturers now offer hybrid vehicles: cars and trucks, which use both standard gasoline and electricity to power their engines. Therefore, consumers who drive hybrid vehicles are using less gasoline now than before these manufacturers began offering hybrid cars and trucks.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. Hybrid vehicles generally have higher horsepower than non-hybrid vehicles.
B. Hybrid manufacturers use less gasoline in their manufacturing equipment than non-hybrid manufacturers do.
C. Most hybrid vehicles get the majority of their power from gasoline combustion.
D. The number of miles driven in a hybrid vehicle that are attributable to electricity is greater than the equivalent number of miles that could have been driven with the gasoline used to create that electricity.
E. More electrical power is used driving a hybrid vehicle than an equivalent non-hybrid vehicle.
