Did anybody see the latest Top Gear where they put the gay Prius against a BMW M3. The M3 got better gas milage around the track than the Prius. They had the P go around the track as fast as it could, the M3 just had to keep up (easy for the M). The P got 17mpg and the M got 19mpg.

Their conclusion...

Don't get a gay hybrid car and expect great mpg if you drive like an ass. Instead get a sweet car and drive more reasonably. Its your driving habbits that make alot of cars have shitty MPG.

I myself can attest to that with my Trailblazer SS.
