Think it will save gas?

Enough to pay for the turbo?

Hybrids have the potential to be very sporty because electric motors are inherently VERY powerful.

I would not buy a hybrid because the initial cost is too high. But that may change.

Yes, initial cost of a conventional recent model hybrid is too high. So, I drive a "Poor Man's Hybrid". I have a vintage 1984 Mercedes 300 turbo diesel that runs on used cooking oil. I start it up on diesel until the engine is warmed up, as judged by the temperature gauge hitting 60C or better, then switch to cooking oil. I switch back to diesel a half-mile from my destination to purge the lines with diesel. As a hybrid used electricity to supplement the gasoline, I use cooking oil to supplement the diesel. I've gotten 385 miles/gal of diesel fuel purchased courtesy of the cooking oil. I'm getting a 1988 F-250 diesel truck tricked out for cooking oil, and hope to have it ready in a couple weeks. Not for everybody, but works for me.

Around here, used cooking oil is almost as expensive as diesel, (about half) and it is really badly contaminated. It has to have the candle wax (styric acid) taken out of it or else it just sits there like a lump of cold fat, and is just as easy as a brick of lard to push through the injectors. I can't imagine how to run it in the winter.

Good luck with that. I know lots of people who do this. They tend to curse a lot.

I get my used cooking oil for free from a local Mexican restaurant. They only fry tortia chips and a few french fries,and used soy bean oil, so it is very clean and easy to filter. "Home cooking" restaurants with a lot of fried, breaded vegetables (fried squash, okra) have a lot of breading in the oil and it is very dirty and hard to filter. I don't use that. Sea food and fried chicken restaurants use partially hydrogenated oil which is solid at room temp. I don't use that, either. My oil is pre-heated with a radiator coolant heat exchanger in the fuel tank and fuel line runs thru supply line to heat exchanger. It takes longer to come up to temp in winter.

Motors have optimum torque at take-off, and supercharged engines have optimum passing acceleration. I would say this car is targeted for the young adult about five years out of college.
