The message
from "Doctor Drivel" contains these words:

I have one. It is doing just under 60mpg. And I do mixed motorway and
city.
About 75/25%. When in city only, it does around 65mpg. I does not hang
about, it is brisk. 100mpg top end which I have never reached - the MGB
did
only 85mph. The new Prius is even better. It is better looking, longer,
wider, faster acceleration an greater economy...and still the brilliant
unrivalled drive. We shall see what the Chevy Volt does.

I think the time has come to repeat part of what I first posted on 1st
December last which is a quote from a FOI request.

"The Government Car and Despatch Agency (GCDA), an executive Agency of
the Department for Transport, operates a fleet 104 Toyota Prius. The
Agency does monitor the fuel consumption of its vehicles. Its latest
report shows that the average fuel consumption of the Toyota Prius fleet
was 42.69 mpg. The worst example is an average of 32.45 mpg and the best
example is an average of 51.49 mpg."

It doesn't tally with others - the US official test was at 60mpg. The Prius
doesn't kill the plant. And is swish...................
