NoName Denton,
Where do you get your numbers?
My Prius gets in the mid 50's mpg in the summer and in the 40's in the winter. 40 mpg is the worst , and that was when it gets below zero.
The VW diesel will only fare well on the highway. The Prius will destroy it in the city and easily hold it's own on the road..
Diesel drivers lose their mileage advantage when they pay $.75 to $1.00 more per gallon for fuel. VW repair costs will eat you up. A friend just paid $5,000 for his new VW Jetta tranny. And just wait for your injectors to require maintenance. And,
6 quarts of oil anyone? Try changing the oil yourself. The heat shield gets in the way.
Check the emission ratings also. Prius comes out on top.
