All my figures are in Km... here are conversions (Gas seems so much cheaper in the USA... I used Minot gas prices as that is my closest US destination):
Altima
Miles Driven: 435
Gallons of fuel: 14.3
Price of gas: $4.14/gallon
TOTAL PRICE PER FILL: $59.20
Based on estimates with the TDI:
Miles driven: 621.4
Gallons of fuel: 13.2
Price of diesel: $4.69
TOTAL PRICE PER FILL: $61.91
Again I believe there is some variance due to the pricing difference between US and CDN gas/diesel prices. In CDN mileage as well we calculate l/100km not straight Liters per KM as mpg.
I am also looking at the 00-02 Corolla, as it seems to hit near 40 mpg, and would be in the price range I am looking at.
