hybrid vs diesel

i think both cars are good, i owned a hybrid civic, not a lot of power very small, could not fold down seats.

Waiting on a Jetta Diesel, 2008, specs are great, and me and a buddy are going to make our own diesel.

see what happens??

The gallons number includes 6 oz. Redline 85. Again a new personal best at 55.52 miles per US gallon - and I am driving a bit faster than before (out of consideration to other traffic), and running the air conditioner about 20% of the time. This car continues to impress me.

I have a 2006 Jetta package 2. It is a 5 speed manual. for the month of May my average fuel economy is 55 MPG

Here is the proof



I drive 55MPH most of the time I go fast downhill and lose the speed I gained downhill on the uphill.

I have the instantanious MPG thingy in my dashboard that came with the car, it overreports but overall its a good metric for driving better.

all were USLD, sorry its not in the format you desire

63.98 mpg tank. Arg! I just missed 64 mpg. But this is my best mpg ever! Don't think I can do any better unless someone knows of a 1200-1400 mile down hill drive. :) To get this sort of mileage I had to never exceed 50 mph, which is aprox. peak torque for the old B4. Took a lot of patience!!! Now a back to normal speeds.

I ended up driving a LOT more this month than I planned. My 5/11 fill is shown in Post #40. I didn't expect to fill again until June...

5/22/08

Driver: Waldek Walrus
Miles: 709.0
Gallons: 14.499
Model Year: 2006

Tranny: 5M
Fuel Type: ULSD + PS

5/30/08

Driver: Waldek Walrus
Miles: 719.1
Gallons: 14.422
Model Year: 2006
Model: NB
Tranny: 5M
Fuel Type: ULSD + PS

This is getting expensive:

5/11/08 702.0 miles, $64.25 = 10.9 miles/dollar
5/22/08 709.0 miles, $69.00 = 10.3 miles/dollar
5/30/08 719.1 miles, $70.65 = 10.2 miles/dollar

The last two were each the most expensive fill I had ever had for any vehicle, not just the Beetle with the "55 liter" tank.

Round trip from Medicine Hat Alberta to Toronto Ontario, plus travel around southern Ontario. 7,756 km, 55.6 imp mpg. This was a quick trip over a two week period with hiway speeds varying from 60-75 mph. Worst and best with filled to the rim each time 51.5 - 58.7 mpg imp. This vehicle now has 53,000 km on the clock with two 3000 km trips towing a small trailer carrying a classic Gold Wing, mileage dropped considerably while towing. this vehicle is rated at 54 mpg imp on the hiway. This is my second trip like this with similar mpg figures. :D :D :D It is great to gety better than the rated mpg.
