That's .016 pounds per mpg on the Prius. And if you use 8000 for the Super Duty it's .002 pounds per mpg. In other words, the Ford carries its weight 87.5% more efficiently than the Toyota.

My point was that people that think they can drive a prius and laugh at people like us for driving a big ol gas guzzler.... well..... Like I said, their mileage comes from sacrifice of weight and room, not ground breaking designs.
The SD, for what it weighs, and it's capability, is a far more efficient vehicle.

The SD gets about 1/3 the MPG of the hybrid prius
Its pretty near the same Mileage per unit of weight.

Apples and Oranges... Kinda like comparing a smart car and a 15 passenger van. Per passenger efficiency is far greater with the van than the 8 smart cars it takes to move the same number of people. Or how about the SD vs Prius with a pallet of quickcrete... You can carry very few bags in the prius vs the SD, the efficiency with the truck is far greater than the car for moving cargo. But if you're just one or two people commuting, the small car is far more efficient for that purpose.

You'll have a harder time getting me to believe the Super Duty is more efficient than the Prius. Sure a SD can get okay mpg while hauling a big load. Sure a Prius gets good mpg while hauling 4 people. That's what they do. I know that when I haul my family in every morning and drop them off one by one I would rather be in a Prius for the final 15 miles of my drive. Apples to oranges. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a nice used Jetta TDI right now. It's much more "efficient" for my daily driving needs.

Prius=3k
My SD=10k
Take a look around the room. Full of SD owners and want to compare effience with a prius. WTF? Why? Not even related. My SD excedes the prius's gvwr mt.
We're setting here talking about pulling gooseneck trailer, and 30 ft 5ers, across mountains and somehow driving kids to school in a sadan/coup relates?
