So if I like to drive like a race car driver I shouldn't get a Prius, good to know.

Several issues with that test.
1 there is no comment on the different tank sizes between the two. Sure you might have more gas left but you had more gas left before either car was turned on so that's an absolutely useless piece of data. You should have started with the same amount of gas. Completely empty tanks and then throw in 10 gallons each.

2 it's not completely normal to take a Prius to top speed. Ever.

3 completely different transmissions between the two.

4 can you say comparing apples to oranges.

5 of course the Prius lost if it didn't that would have never been published.

6 your Mercedes costs a ton more than a Prius and you have it for completely different reasons than someone would buy a Prius for so why do you still feel you have something to prove? Are these guys that insecure that you can't let anything your car does be worse than a Prius?
