You have been staring at and discussing your prius for a long time, did you know there are a few folks who have managed over 100mpg for an entire tank, in a non-prius (non-hybrid even)? And plenty more examples of low-tech cars getting 60+ averages.

But I do think the operator is a big part of any system. And of course any general-purpose automations can be out-efficiencied by a good operator.
