BMW vs Prius

Interesting read.
The BMW looks like it has a much smaller frontal area than the boxy looking Prius.
That might account for the better mileage,
and they tested it on mainly highway type driving.
As acknowledged in the article, the hybrids are good around town,
but they have little advantage on the highway.
