81mpg is extremely impressive. The best MPG cars available in North America top out at the high 40s and low 50s. 81mpg is +30 over the Prius.

- nomel 2y agoSuspiciously impressive, you could say.
- theevilsharpie 2y agoThe last time I had to commute to downtown Los Angeles (about a 50-mile drive), my Prius got 72 MPG. My car is nearly 10 years old, so either I somehow managed to obtain the world's best Prius (with no loss of hybrid battery capacity over time), or you're underestimating the capabilities of today's hybrid gas-electric vehicles.
