A friend of mine recently sent me THIS link to a story entitled "Toyota Prius proves a gas guzzler in a race with the BMW 520d" from an English Newspaper where two automotive reporters test drove a Prius and a large BMW to Geneva,

And guess what?

The BMW was not only a much better car in their estimations, but also more fuel efficient.

I’ve read a bunch of these type of articles where they compare a
Prius to some other cars by driving the two cars cross
country…usually somewhere nice, over some beautiful roads.

Yesterday I called Home Depot to check on the status of a rebate for some new appliances that we had purchased at Christmas. I got the typical automated operator. After wading through about 7 levels of automated telephone hell I got to the rebate option, hit number 4, and got hung up on.

FYI: Home Depot. I don’t speak Spanish, French or Fijian. I speak English as I live in the USA. You might want to keep that in mind for future reference.
