SUV more economical than Prius
According to a report on the Radio NZ website, the hybrid Toyota Prius car has been exposed as being less economical than a diesel SUV.
The Prius has been compared by a British motoring website with a Jeep Patriot and found to use half a litre more fuel per 100 kilometres than the SUV.
The motoring website also reveals the main advantage of hybrids – the fact the engine does not idle at traffic lights – has no more benefit than a modern diesel with stop-start technology.
