My brother-in-law recently traded his Ford Ranger 4 cyl in on a new Yaris. He is getting about 29 mpg, mostly city. His Ranger mpgs were in the 'teens. He is thrilled. He doesn't have the 45 mile commute that I do, so it works for him. I'll stick with my Prius, more room, comfort, mpgs, though at almost twice the Yaris purchase price. Different strokes ...

By the way, diesel in LA is arouund $4.20, reg gas @ $3.53 (Shell). I never did get how diesel was supposed to be a better deal.

ULSD is supposedly more expensive to produce. Even in the Europe, they're experiencing a rise in diesel prices (up and above the "normal" increase) due to the ULSD requirement.
