What is the difference between gasoline powered cars and hybrid cars?

HYBRID CARS- Hybrids are cars that run on electricity. Although hybrid cars help with your spending money on gas, they're not that fast or powerful, most of them.
GASOLINE POWERED CARS- They're the cars you usually see on the street and run on gas. They're faster than hybrids, but you'll use up more money with them, unless they're fuel efficient.

Some cars are mixtures of both, like the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight.
