Of course, not everyone wants to drive a tiny little Prius. Lots of drivers want both fuel economy as well as maybe a little bit of fun. Of course, if you drive a sports car, then you should get ready to spend a lots on gas. Most of the time fast cars means terrible fuel economy.
For most of us, there is no way we can justify driving a fast, sexy car like a Camaro or Mustang. For the average Joe, it just makes more sense to drive something like a Honda Civic. The Civic provides much better gas mileage than the average sports car. Yet why do people still drool and save money to buy a sports car? Perhaps they lust for speed, but then again, if the speed limits on most highways is 65 miles per hour or maybe 75 miles per hour, having a vehicle that can go up to 150-200 m.p.h. just doesn't make a whole lot of sense does it?
In the last few years a technology known as Hybrid technology is being uses more to create energy efficient automobiles. These cars are designed to be light, intelligent, and economical. They utilize a combination of both a gas and electric engines to maximize fuel efficiently.
Most hybrid vehicles are designed for city use driving. Where vehicles in the past would get 25-35 miles per gallon in the city, vehicles like the Toyota Prius get an astounding 48 m.p.g. in the city and 45 m.p.g. on the highway. At a time where gas prices are spiraling out of control, doubling your vehicle's fuel efficiency is a great way to save some money.
The major complaint of course with the Prius and hybrid vehicles in general is that their engine, is small and slow. It's not so bad to drive in the city, but getting up to speed on the highway takes a while. Nobody in their right mind would declare the Prius to be sporty by any stretch of the word.
However, car manufacturers today are now opening up a new line of hybrid cars. A kind of hybrid sports car. These hybrid cars are designed to achieve high amounts of speed but at the same time, take advantage of fuel saving hybrid technology.
Probably the first big hybrid sports car could surprisingly come from Chevrolet. It is called the Chevy Volt. It's a mostly electric car designed to run for a whole 40 miles without using any gas at all. After that, the vehicle becomes a gaselectric hybrid. Since the average person only drives about 40 miles a day, the vehicle could run most days purely on electricity. Chevrolet estimates that the vehicle could average about 150 miles per gallon. Yet, at the same time the Chevy Volt looks quite sporty. No word has come from Chevrolet about how fast the Volt will go and what kind of horsepower it will achieve, but it will be a big step forward for the hybrid sports car for sure.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are beyond excited to tie the knot!
Just a few hours after news broke on Monday that the royal asked the Suits star to marry him, the two gave their first post-engagement interview with Mishal Husain of BBC News.
"It happened a few weeks ago," Prince Harry confirmed. "It was a really nice moment. It was just the two of us."
"Just an amazing surprise," Markle added. "It was so sweet, natural and very romantic."
After gushing about how the proposal went down, Markle explained what it's been like transitioning from Hollywood to Kensington Palace -- and how the two first met!
"It was definitely a setup," Markle explained. "It was a blind date."
"We were introduced by a mutual friend," Harry added. "We met once and then twice, back-to-back, two dates in London, last July. I think about three, maybe four weeks later, I managed to persuade her to come join me in Botswana and we camped out with each other under the stars. We spent five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic. Then we were really by ourselves, which was crucial to me to make sure we had a chance to get to know each other."
"I'd never watched Suits, I'd never heard of Meghan before, and I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her [for the first time]," he continued. "I was like, 'Wow, OK. I'm going to have to up my game here. I'm goin.
