Mar 17th 2008 3:45PM I agree 40mpg sounds low. I can easily average ~50mpg in a Prius freeway or city, but I'm sure the BMW could get better mileage as well if driven properly. CleanMPG.com recently put a Civic Diesel against a Prius in a long distance test and they came out pretty close MPG-wise. I doubt the BMW would be able to match either under the same circumstances. Also, the cost difference between petrol and diesel made Prius more economical in the end.

Mar 12th 2008 1:41PM #10. The Insight looks the way it does for aerodynamics, it is the most aerodynamic production vehicle every made, The Prius II is the second most aerodynamic. The Prius is more popular because it's WAY more practical, but the Insight gets 50% better gas mileage. Even with more efficient engines, a car with better aerodynamics will use the available energy more efficiently, especially at speed. That will never change.
