Not at all. They are much slower but get slightly better mileage.
I own a hybrid and it is not slower than any other car. I have found myself going 85-90 and slowed it down. My gas mileage is good. I get average of 45 mpg around town and on the freeway have gotten 59 mpg. If you drive the car about 58-60 mph the mileage improves.
