It's not just green, it's Soylent Green....

Or at least it's delivering the raw materials to make SG.

Hearses usually have considerable power that helps them haul their heavy load slowly up hills...

I can just see a Prihearse crawling along at 15-20kph, then stomping it up to 50 to take on a hill, gradually slowing down as it gets partway up.

Wouldn't it use even more fuel than normal as you have to drive with your headlights on?

@bill cant fart: Nah, you'd need a stretch Vespa or stretch Mini Cooper convertible for that.

50 mpg combined is what the 2010 prius gets - before doubling the size of the car and adding hundreds of pounds of support steel.

This is just a press release from an unknown Japanese limo conversion company. They're trying to hawk their product with a terribly done photoshop. If that's the best they can do for marketing materials, I wouldn't put much faith into the quality of their products.

@geekpi: A Prius gets better city mileage than highway mileage. They may be assuming that a hearse does not need to drive at highway speeds and only report the city mileage. They might even be using their own tests where they calculated gas mileage at a 40mph constant.

Actually, the "greenest" thing any of us can do right now is just die. I mean, no humans = no pollution, right? At least, this is the excuse I use when shooting hippies.

Isn't 52 mpg about the same as a normal prius gets?

@Purple Monkey Dishwasher: My guess is that since the majority of the weight in a Prius comes from the battery, they are actually able to turn a regular Prius into a hearse without a huge percentage of a weight increase. They may have also made this have a max speed of 65mph and a lower acceleration since hearses do not need to have high performance. I also don't know if hybrids are affected by weight nearly as much as gas only engines.
