If you are going to be drving that much the only thing that ought to matter is mileage lol. . .
if you drove 500 Miles a week. . .
A jetta would (estimated 60 mpg) need 8.3 gallons of diesel
A Insight would(estimate 70mpg) need 7.14 gallons of gas.
If you averaged 500 a week the diesel would cost 19.09(diesel of 2.30?)
"" Insight would be 14.28. 5 bucks a week with the insight or 250 a year. If prices go up the difference will be more. I think your malibu gets 30? at 30 it costs twice as much to drive it around as the Insight(30 a week).
Used Insight will also be cheaper initially than the Jetta. Can take the extra money and hook up with a power pack from another wrecked one and some flexible solar panels to put in the front and back windows to boost FE potentially 5-10% again depending on battery pack retention and if you drop an additional unit in.
