new figures are old hat

I read articles about new eletric cars all the time, i’m always interested in making my car time a more fuel efficient, greener time, as i spend more than 10 hours a week in the car, even small savings can make a huge difference.
I have to laugh though, while reading these articles, i often come across figures that to my mind just don’t make sense. For example, the toyota prius tv adverts quote figures or approx emissions of 106g/km, don’t forget that’s a hybrid car (electric and petrol), but a peugeot 206 only has emissions of 116g/km, considering that it’s probably got tonnes more street cred, and you can get them much cheaper than a prius, and it’s much older!
Even the new vw golf hybrid quotes a figure that is far less than the toyota model, only thing is that they don’t make them yet!
