But...my Yaris gets 36 mpg and what would a diesel get? (in town?) Lets say 44 mpg. So to drive a thousand miles in the Yaris is $76. 1000 miles in our diesel is $69. You save $7 per 1000 miles times 100 thousand miles is $700. Can you buy a diesel car for $15,000? (the bottom line for my Yaris) I think it would be MUCH more. Maybe $5000 more. The numbers just arent there.

"Normal" fuel consumption for that car is (in US gallons): 45 mpg city / 68 highway / 55 mpg combined. Even the Skoda Octavia wagon I drove in Germany two weeks ago, mainly at autobahn speeds, was averaging around 45 MPG. Unfortunately, our high diesel prices (due to the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2005) have dramatically undercut the benefits of diesel-powered cars in this country. Cheers! M2

 Here's the official Price List for Toyota UK - the diesel is more, but only 1000 pounds, not 5000. Well worth it!http://www.toyota.co.uk/bv/UK_car_pr...wCarPrices.pdf |
