Top Gear magazine of the UK pitted a BMW M3 against a Toyota Prius for fuel economy.

An easy win for the Toyota, right?

Turns not, no, not if the Toyota is driven as fast as possible. If you're trying to get the most performance out of your car, it's better to drive the performance car.

In their test, the Toyota got 17.2 miles per gallon and the BMW 19.4.

So if you want to drive fast, don't buy an economy car. You'll get just as bad economy and have less fun.
