I do not hope to untangle that for anyone else, but I maintain that a driver with little more than stick shift skills and similiar equipment can still outperform the prius, precisely because the power split device requires power and conversions to hold various RPMs. The prius efficiency is compromised for convenience and thus is NOT "unmatched efficiency".

Also speaking of leading astray, a picture that shows all those conversions plus 100% ice going to the wheels is doing just that.

Not happy with the constant and misleading in their own way prius commercials
