I suspect my $1500 Jetta at 50mpg beats 'em both. :)

Yes, over the last ten years technology has been used to give us more efficient
cars than ever before.
As a friend and I were discussing last week, fuel economy isn't everything. His
2013 Sentra CVT routinely hits 40mpg (5.9L/100kM). My 1997 S420 doesn't use
twice as much gas, but with the higher cost of premium gas my fuel cost is
about
double.
However, my cost of car payment plus insurance is about $15 a day less than
his,
mainly because I haven't had a mortgage on a car in over 20 years.
This makes it substantially cheaper to own and drive a rather huge MBZ than a
subcompact Nissan.
How much did it cost to trade the 2002 Frod for the 2013?
Mitch.
