Hybrids rely on both a gasoline engine and an electric motor that is powered by batteries.
Introduced in December 1999, the Honda Insight is the first mass-produced hybrid ever sold in America. Hybrids are starting to gain the acceptance of Utahns, even Utahns of high profile. According to a press release, Senator Bob Bennett bought an Insight seven months after it was introduced in America. According to the EPA, the Insight can get 61 mpg of gas in the city, and 68 mpg on the highway. With the Insight's 10.6 gallon fuel tank, the Insight can get over 600 miles on a tank of gas.
