I remember that episode, laughed my ass off...the Prius going full chat around the track...the BMW loafing along on it's bumper...measured fuel burned, the BMW burns less.
BTW, don't think my car has ever pulled to the right for a effing prius! Prius drivers tend to be smug pot smoking patcholi oil wearing bald guys with gray pony tails. Oh..Obama sticker part of the standard Prius equipment...
So, Mr. Prius weenie, when you see this in your mirror, kindly pull to the right...
