There has been an update:

The Stig?s flying hybrids - BBC Top Gear

Quote:
The high-speed banking yielded an indicated 113mph max for the Insight, at a low average of 16.7mpg, and the Prius a top speed of 121mph, while its average wouldn't dip below 18.2mpg, even with the throttle pedal jammed so far into the carpet it started to become slightly on fire.
As for Clarkson claims, I like them because they increase the average IQ of Prius owners.
