16l / 100km?!? I don't think so...

Prius the best?

I really doubt it. Try a modern small Diesel car. The Prius, IMO is just an oversized family car with fancy technology that makes it appear to be the best.

On 5th Gear they tested them along with a small diesel and petrol car and thrashed them ,the Prius pulled average fuel economy as it was running on petrol motor the whole time, and the diesel followed colosely by the petrol won, and they were faster.

So if you want to have fun and save the Earth at the same time, don't buy a Prius. :lol:
