It is hardly surprising that the “poster car” for green driving is one of the most economical cars available. The world’s first mass-produced hybrid is capable of a claimed 94.1 mpg whilst emitting just 70g/km. In addition to incredibly low running costs, the Prius is proving popular as it is very easy to live with, it is very quiet on the road, and it provides a relaxed motoring experience.
