Bottomline is, to really get the most out of hybrid cars like the Prius, you need to learn and know how to drive it.

I'm a sometimes a leadfoot, and can't be bothered accelerating like I'm in no hurry to get a heart-transplant Although I still get an average below 7L/100km through a mix of slow city and fast highway driving. Numbers will get to around 6L/100km average during the summer.

Sweet:

Soon the hacks will be going the other way, shouldn't be long before someone figure out how to get more power to the wheels.
