I just have another idea for Prius... To buy a Prius strip it off from any weight you can get rid off and put a small powerfull and very efficient diesel engine like 1.4 or 1.2 TDi
With Prius aero and lightened body that should give amazing FE numbers.

I have to think of that more Maybe a new project? (Wife will kill me )
