Top Gear: e90 M3 has better MPG than Prius

BRDHNTR · 06-24-2008, 11:44 AM

I am not sure if you guys have seen the new Top Gear episode about fuel economy, but I was happy to see that around the track the M3 beat the Prius for fuel economy.

Sure the test is a little biased since they did something no one would ever do, which is race a Prius and have an M3 just keep up. However, it proves a point that I never could to people. It isn't what you drive, but how you drive.

Sorry about that. I was looking in this section since it is General info. Didn't expect to see it in the Photos section.
