For comparison, official figures are

Prius (all 1.5 models) - 65.7 mpg, 104 CO2, £17495
Polo (1.4 TDI) - 62.8 mpg, 120 CO2, £11035

There's a difference but not THAT great a difference, especially
when you factor in the purchase price

Yes but don't forget the prius is a much bigger car than a polo. If it
were the same size as a polo you'd probably find the prius figures
were even
better.

Not THAT much bigger though. Here's the best Golf figures by comparison
