I remember an episode of Top Gear (UK version) where they took a Prius and an
M3
out for a laps on their track. The Prius lead, for 10 laps, going for its best
time, the M3 shadowing.
They recorded the gas mileage for both cars. Prius got 17 mpg and the M3
19mpg.
Brilliant!
;-)
I do remember my 1994 Taurus SHO routinely getting 30-34 mpg on trips.
