You know I think this is funny and all and really hate the prius, but how can that be right??? 17MPG for a prius going at a steady speed around a track? Thats gotta be a joke with the way they advertise they get 50-60MPG

My Ride: stock non-sport alpine white '04 530i
50/60 mpg is such bs, my nieghbor got a prius last year and hates it now since he gets around 36 mpg, which is still good, but not exactly what they advertised, while his daughter is driving around a mini, getting the exact same mpg, yet better/more fun to drive, and is alot easier on the eyes
