I used to autocross using highly modified Fiat 600's, among other
cars. In stock form, with 27 screaming horsepower, they cruised on the
highway at 55 mph and 60 mpg. Accelerating from zero to 60, however
took about two days.

That's the advantage of the hybrid. When you need extra power for
acceleration, the electric kicks in.
