Now, I know it wasn't too long ago that I posted a blog about my not liking most hybrid and electric cars. That being said- I think it's important to note that I am not a hyprocrite. While I'm not about to run out and purchase a Toyota Prius (for more reasons than just the abundance of recalls), nor am I ever going to purchase a Think City, I can't help myself but to swoon over the ever-so-sexy, plug-in hybrid supercar -- the 918 Spyder.

Porsche is making some big claims about the 918 Spyder saying it will have 500 hp, a mid-engine V-8 and two electric motors. Not to mention that it's claimed to get a whopping 78.4 mpg. In addition, they say it will be able to go from zero to 62 in 3.2 seconds and have a top speed of 198 mph.

This is one electric car I wouldn't turn my back against. Although, I'm sure I'd have to win a few times on the nickel machines before I could afford this bad boy.

Are you still holding off on buying an electric car? Not quite ready to trade in your gas guzzler in an attempt to go green? I understand. While I wouldn't mind saving money at the pump, I'm not ready to trade in my 3-series for a Prius. And, so help me if a Think City makes it to the U.S. But, even if you're holding out like myself, there are still some ways to save at the pump. Check out these gas-saving products. From air filters to tonneau covers, there are plenty of ways to save money at the pump without giving in to a eco-friendly ride. However, if you're thinking of making the switch to an electric or hybrid ride, check out the hottest new electric cars that will be hitting the market soon.
