Very interesting article about this flawed concept in Autocar this week
including owner's views. Far too long to quote here - it's several pages -
and it's not on the website. So anyone interested will just have to buy
it. ;-)


This is the mag that said the Prius did 26mpg, according to the senile one,
when everyone else gets 60 plus. 100s of reports say 60mpg plus but this
says 26mpg. Wow, now they really are worth taking notice of, aren't they.
Duh!


Real world, 54 (UK) mpg .. (source: Prius forum) fantastic.

I'll pass till they get it working properly thanks ..

(p.s. And 'bigger batteries' will only make the (real) mpg worse ....)
