What would happen if someone put diesel fuel in a gasoline powered car?

Well that would depend on how much... Friend put about 4-5 gallons in a pickup with a 31 gallon tank; diesel doesnt ignite from spark plugs like a gasoline engine does, so it will bog down and die fairly quickly... If it was only a small amount, top off the tank with fresh gasoline, and try to crank it. Most likely though, the diesel will be in the fuel lines, and you have to unhook the fuel inlet line and bleed out the diesel for a minute and then hook line back up and it should start. Add some fuel injector cleaner to the tank as well, and keep the tank topped off with gas for a few weeks and the gas SHOULD dissipate the diesel which essentially is fuel oil. If you FILLED THE TANK, however, you'll probably have to drain it completely via a pump or something and then bleed lines and such. Question is, how the &"$% did you fit the diesel nozzle in your gasser?

What happen if you fuel small amount of diesel instead of gasoline in gasoline car?
if it is only a small amount of diesel (say no more than a gallon) them all you have to do is fill the take right up to the brim with gasoline, it may have a small misfire while it runs the diesel through the system as it will have a much lower octane, If there is quite a bit of diesel in there (anymore than a gallon) then I would recommend draining the tank somehow before filling it up with gasoline
Are hybrid cars diesel?
While it would be possible to build a hybrid car using a diesel engine instead of the gasoline engine, I do not believe any manufacturers are doing it.
