The consumption numbers must be wrong or you use different fuel have other engines in the US. Even old VW would do good compared to this. My old 94 Passat would use 7l/100km (ca 34 mpg). A typical smaller TDI would use 5l/100km (48mpg) without trying to be economical. My 96 Seat Toledo (Equal to Golf) could go as low as 4l/100km (59 mpg). Even my TDI van would compare to Prius in this test.

Trust me if you know how to drive a Prius economically and that doesnt necessarily mean very slow you can get amazing mpg out of it.

My 2011 manual TDI, averages 43 MPG combined. My worst city chapter ran me at 37.1 MPG while my best Highway was 52.4 With a car that is so fun to drive. It's almost a game to keep track of the milage. It also has an incredible range, close to 700 miles, allowing me to drive from DC to Detroit on less than a tank.

33.3 mpg for the base MINI HIGHWAY DRIVING??? Did you all go 120 the whole way? I very easily get 39-42 MPG in my 2010 Cooper S model. Very inaccurate results. I get around 30-33 in the city, and I am not in any way easy on the gas... I got around 550 miles out of the tank on a $50 on the highway, 13.2 gallon tank. Cruise control at 70.

Can you guys try to answer, " best second hand Eco car?" What car would be the best raking gas friendly car to buy.

It was obvious from the start that the Prius would win, but a few other things surprised me.

For example, the Insight did worse than I thought it would. I had figured it would easily best the other competitors for #2. Also, I hadn't realize that the Mini Cooper is one of those 'fun to drive' cars. Looking at it, I thought it was a car similar to the Fortwo.
