Toyota Prius

The Sunday Times assessed the economy of the greens favourite motor, the Toyota Prius, with an oil-burning BMW 5-Series.

And the BMW turned out to be more efficient than the gas guzzling Prius.

David Cameron, who found the Prius too small for his requirements, will be mightily relieved.

I read that the Prius does well on the urban cycle tests because the electric motor allows it to accelerate very slowly, snail like, from junctions. These test are being revised with minimum allowed accelerations and the hybrids will disappear from the charts.

One really ought to create a list of famous Prius owners who can now be shown to be trashing the environment.
