a Prius vs Miles, who can go the farthest on a set amount of fuel.

[@gravemind6536]

In the city a Prius because of the regen braking and stop start system that favours city driving. Out on the Motorway or in the countryside Miles would beat the Prius as all the advantages it has in the city would be of no use and the hybrid system would end up a dead weight.

[@peterzingler6221]

Well you can drive it woth 3.5liters for 100kilometer ive done it.

[@peszq]

@@peterzingler6221 However the first few miles the engine needs to be warmed up, therefore consuming much more fuel. There are many things to take into consideration like elevation change, wind etc, but i think 25 is not possible to do with 1 litre and a cold engine

[@CA-gy4qf]

One other thing to consider is with a near empty tank there is a lot less weight in the car

[@Robert-cu9bm]

urbex2007 they run the engine dry, nothing left in any rails, even if there was, it would be mills not litres. They're were probably driving around 45-50mph which would be the most efficient for that car.
