Preferably buy a Prius.


why? You can use less fuel in lots of other cars.


You can't. Not a car of that size, performance and refinement you can't.
You have been reading the propaganda reports as Toyota stole the lead.

Of course if you do 100mpg for 100 miles it will do around 38-40 mpg, but
average driving is what matters and it is unbeatable in mpg, especially in
towns and cities. 65mpg around London. And it doesn't kill the planet like
the tractor engines do and is whisper quiet.
