How much fuel will a prius use towing half a tonne of dirt in a trailer? My V8 only goes up 1 or 2L / 100k because it has the torque to handle it and i dont have to push down on the pedal much more than normal.
Will a prius tow half a tonne up hill?...... i doubt the VW would either.... so whats better for me?

Oh I agree. I read somewhere that around 90% of driving done by cars on the road are short trips. ie: commuting, driving to the shops, etc. And for that the prius is great. Not excellent, but great. I would love to see electric cars eventually take the place of fuel driven cars for this (90%) purpose... But for everything else, ie: towing, 4wd'ing etc... you're right, you need power that unfortunately doesnt have a viable fossil free alternative yet..
Here's what im buying & decking out as a camper... as soon as I get back from o/s B)
