He had the blue Prius with "this car gets 300mpg" vinyled on the back. Basically he had a ton of lithium batteries powering a plug in conversion of the Prius. Since the Plug in Prius gets 95mpge on electric, 200mpg+ would be an accurate statement about fossil fuel consumption but not efficiency! A stock Nissan leaf is more efficient MPGE wise than his Prius, so the 200-300mpg figure he's using conveniently neglects to account for all the electricity he used to charge his batteries. Volt owners also tend to use these "inflated" efficiency numbers.
