Just do a Google never mid the numerous Prius user groups and forums,

50-65mpg. The mag is clearly wrong and misleading.


You really are thick. You quote some figure grabbed from the air for
*your* car which you only exists in your imagination and slag off a
respected mag.

Their touring figure for the Prius was 44 mpg. Not good, but not bad.

The 23 MPG was the average over the entire 1000 mile or so test. Included
testing to determine its true top speed and acceleration. All conducted
using runs in opposite directions to get a true and accurate result.

So truly poor for such a slow car.

You, of course, would just have believed what ever data the advertisers
fed you about performance and economy. An ad man's dream.
