Although the driving public now considers $3 gasoline to be normal, another "gas crisis" is inevitable. To help you avoid a knee-jerk beige-buying reaction, we've assembled this list of fun and fuel-frugal sports cars you can buy now.

Nobody really wants to drive a hybrid. Well, some people do, but these people are masochists and not to be trusted, the kind of folks who collect garden gnomes and drive around at fifteen miles per hour below the speed limit. Normal people want something fast, fun, and sexy. Just because fuel prices might fluctuate wildly in the future doesn't mean that you should be caught driving something boring.

There are plenty of great cars out there that get darn respectable fuel economy. To prove it, we've put together a selection of sports cars that span the price spectrum and sip gasoline. Peak oil consumption will eventually strangle you out from behind the wheel, but you may as well have fun while you still can.
