Orlando, Florida - Toyota Motors(Ticker: TM) and PepsiCo (Ticker: PEP) today announced that the next generation Toyota Prius will be powered solely by Gatorade energy drinks. The stock prices of both companies soared after the announcement while Coca Cola Co. and Dr. Pepper Co. tumbled. Analysts had previously speculated that the new car would be powered by Sprite or Seven Up–made by the Coke and Dr. Pepper companies, respectively.

According to details released at the press conference, the new Prius will accept three types of fuel: Regular Orange, Premium Fierce Berry, and Ultra Frost Glacier Freeze. The more expensive brands offer better fuel mileage and prettier colors in your exhaust smoke.

Toyota CEO Katsuaki Watanabe said the joint venture couldn’t have come at a more perfect time with primitive, fossil fuel based gasoline selling for record prices. “The average price of a 20oz bottle of Gatorade is 25% percent cheaper than what you’d pay for gas. Additionally, by returning their empty Gatorade bottles consumers will receive an extra 5 cent rebate, and those living in Maine will earn 10 cents.”

People across the industry have praised Toyota engineers for the creation of the cutting edge engine system that will power the new vehicle. Said one Ford automotive engineer, “The improved aerodynamics is impressive for the increase in fuel efficiency. What’s more impressive however is the new engine. How they were able to fit an entire Olympic athlete into each car boggles the mind. I guess when you live in a country the size of Rhode Island that’s home to 120 million people, you are much more likely to innovate in space saving designs.”

EPA tests show the new Prius gets 60 miles to the gallon in city driving and 80 miles to the gallon when driving on a track, football field, or basketball court. Using the Gatorade Squeeze bottles is also said to improve mileage.
