Actually, a Prius driven aggressively (to keep up with an E90 M3) was shown to be less fuel efficient than the V8. If that i8 was being spanked on track and still returned 42 mpg, I'd actually be very impressed.
You have it slightly backwards. An E90M keeping up with a Prius being driven full bore beats out the latter's gas mileage.

Obviously, a Prius couldn't keep up with an E90M.
