This data is deaths per 100

This data is deaths per 100 mil cars which is not the same as death per 100 mil miles driven because we know that Prius drivers on average drive a lot more than an average drivers hence the need for a Prius.

[quote=svelte]That’s pretty good. I wonder if it has to do with Prius drivers being overly cautious, at least from what I’ve observed.

It all depends on how you slice and dice it, but it isn’t in the lowest 25 as given in the IIHS list:

It does well within it’s size class (small), tying with the Mazda 3.

The five cars with the lowest driver fatalities:
Audi A6 4dr 4wd
Mercedes E-class 4dr 4wd
Toyota Sienna
Ford Edge
Nissan Armada

The five cars with the highest driver fatalities:
Nissan 350Z 2dr
Nissan Titan crew cab
Chevrolet Aveo
Chevrolet Cobalt
Nissan Titan extended cab

Interesting to note a 350Z driver died on I-15 last month, racing another car down an onramp to the freeway at Lake Hodges.[/quote]
