Well the prius would probably be doing around 80 mph at 30% engine load.
So not much of a comparison could be made.
It's just the wrong application.
Really about the only thing that could be done to improve fuel economy on a prius engine by a noticeable amount would be to rip out the gas motor and drop in a turbo diesel.
