Not much worse than cars in the UK, remember that the US gallon is 
smaller, so 34 MPG here (which is about what I get out of my 10 year old 
Saturn coupe) is about 7 L/100 KM (or about 40 MPG in UK Gallons if I've 
done my math correctly).

The Prius owners I know (a couple) typically get 55-65 MPG (in US 
gallons).  That'd be 66-78 MPG in UK gallons.
