Its funny realy if you talk to MB or BMW they view hybrid's like something the devil invented.
I was reading a very eye opening article the Germans HATE hybrids don't expect one anytime soon or ever from Germany. If they do make one they won't like it thats for sure.
Anyway I am no Prius expert but their are a lot of those things in my area. Now it seems to me that everytime I see one on the highway it is in the left lane doing 80mph+. How the heck do they get good mileage spooling that little engine up that high? Isn't the point of buying one to get good mileage, shouldn't they be driven at about 60ish to acheive this?
The sad part is if what I read is true my friends E300D which is a lot more car then the Prius probably matches it mpg wise at 80.
