Most sought after compact hybrid car

Despite changes in the EPA mileage reports, the Toyota Prius remains the undisputed top dog in the miles per gallon category. The Prius hybrid car uses an electric motor assisted by a gasoline engine. At city driving speeds, the electric motor operates alone, and the gas engine kicks in at higher speeds. Real world fuel mileage tests say you can reasonably expect about 46 mpg on average from the Toyota Prius. In addition to better gas mileage, reviews say the Toyota Prius hybrid car has a roomier interior than the competing Honda Civic Hybrid. The hatchback only Prius has a distinctive look that many reviews say makes it stand out from the economy hybrid cars pack.
