This is the mag that said a Prius did 26mpg.

That's the overall figure they got including maximum speed testing - a
total distance of about 1000 miles. Dreadful isn't it? And Toyota didn't
argue. If it wasn't typical under those circumstances they'd have
submitted another car for test.

No one else has managed to get less than 50mpg yet.

It only managed 42 mpg on a gentle touring route. Worse than cars with
much better performance which cost far less.

Maybe the wind was blowing
