I mean he has a point. Just law of dynamics whoever is heavier will always be the one who will probably come out better. A 4 star crash rated Tahoe will whoop a 5 star crash rated priuses ass. I would hate to see what a hummer EV would do to a prius at over 3x the curb weight.
Pointless safety aside, you're averaging 25mpg driving how fast? 85-90mph in the prius average speed is maybe 31-34mpg.
I will say I bumped the FE on my Sequoia up with a sheet of coroplast going from the front bumper to just behind the driver door for about $35. 4x8 sheet and some holes and a slight trim around the wheels. Averaging about 20mpg on my commute consisting of 25-65mph roads 14 miles to work. At least ever since it got cold, it may have been higher two weeks ago.
