Anyone seen this http://www.statefleet.dpws.nsw.gov.a...k+Category.htm

I presume it is out of 20. How did they come up with the scores?

And if the NSW government go to the effort to find out info like this, shouldn't all government vehicles be Toyota Prius Hatch Automatic 1.5L (17.5)?

Put their money where their mouth is.

And turn them over quickly enough they could complete the fantasy tale. The next owner of the ex government Prius will then be the one having to work out how to dispose of 600Kg of spent batteries.

Nah, the government will just talk it up and not do anything about it. Their research probably cost taxpayers in the order of 10-20 million dollars too. lol

The real pity is, even if they are serious about this then they need to get their ministers out of those v8 caprices, as they are the cars that everyone sees on the news and at any publicity event these elitist morons attend in the name of publicity err policy.

If they are really worried about air pollution they should do the right thing and filter the air coming out of the M5 tunnel and the cross city tunnel.
