My dad just called me and we were chatting and mentioned that he had a conversation with a few friends today about cars and gas mileage and that they all claimed that the Prius was the best car in the world as far as gas mileage goes... (Imagine 4 guys in their 50s and none of them know about cars yet having a conversation about cars).
My dad said that he was pretty sure that in Europe a bunch of diesel models were available and that they could match or beat the Prius' gas mileage.
So he asked me to find out and get back to him... I don't honestly know much, so if you guys could post actual stats of cars (preferably in miles / gallon format so that I can just copy / paste it for him ) it would be great.
The Prius is rated at 51mpg city, 48mpg highway in the US.
Thanks guys.
