Laugh? I split my epicyclic ring.

Very fair assessment.

It wasn't at all.

It looked fair to me...
They reported on the mpg they got while driving it the same as the other
cars.
The fact that some Prius owners get better mpg is meaningless in real terms.
I get 50+ mpg from my car and its not a hybrid and I do all my driving
around town.

If you look at the Prius it is obvious that it is designed to get the most
from the official test.. even the battery is designed to have just enough
capacity to complete the test.

Just buy a smaller car and actually save some emissions if you think you
have to help.
