Cars! Cars! Cars!: Current Hybrid Cars For Sale
The Honda Insight, introduced in 2000, is still the gas mileage champ of all currently-selling hybrids. And if gas mileage is all you care about (not usability), then the Insight is the car for you. But this two-seater can't hold a lot (it can't carry any more than 365 pounds, that includes the human occupants), is very small and has very little power.
