Mileage Leaders
This is a great video, because the report compares not only mileage, but the total trip cost that is mostly dependent on the type of fuel you need. The old 2005 Jetta Diesel pretty much wins this competition, but with the current high-cost of diesel fuel, the Prius wins in the cost per mile department. I’d like to see this test with a newer model Jetta diesel. The smart is still a good economy play, considering its low cost of entry, as well. Still, you would think this size vehicle would get 1,000 MPG, but it does not. In all fairness, it is available as a diesel in the rest of the world, but in the USA it is not.
