"It all depends?"
lol

Let's try again.

Using your numbers again, the old Prius got 55 mpg. The old average car got 25 mpg. The Prius got 120% better gas mileage than the average car.

New Prius gets 46 mpg. The new average car gets 22 mpg. The new Prius only gets 109% better gas mileage than the new average car.

The reporter is trying to sell the idea that 109% is more than 120%.

When you find something wrong with your figures, let us know.
