This smells like one of those "studies" (sponsored lies) you might find on one of the right-wing fringe outlets. The first clue is that it makes no sense to make a comparison of the energy costs to "have" a particular kind of vehicle, and allow the Hummer to compete as a low-mileage driveway queen. That's what you do to force the numbers to go in your favor. The only useful comparison is energy cost per mile, or over an equal number of miles. If the Prius was only slightly less environmentally favorable under those skewed conditions, it is easily (embarrassingly?) superior in a realistic comparison.
