is this from the same people who drive a prius like a corvette and expect great mileage? my guess is there is more to the story of that prius only getting sub-30mpg. low tires, bad battery, poorly running engine, dumb driver, etc.

FWIW, top gear did a test a few years ago where a prius would race around the track as fast as possible and a bmw M5 IIRC would follow. the prius couldn't get away, go figure, and got 17mpg, the M5 got 23mpg.
