Toyota put on a race to find the most-efficient drivers
There's an air of excitement in the car as we whip around a corner at Sonoma Raceway, 45 minutes north of San Francisco. The passenger up front is barking stats at the driver while staring at an iPad: "We're at 24 percent, 27 percent, 32 percent, 37 percent! OK, we're at 40 percent. Hold it there." The driver responds in the affirmative and the car continues down the track at a blistering 25 miles per hour. The Prius we're sitting in isn't going to break any speed records. Instead, it's being pushed to the limits of its efficiency.
