I'm looking for a car that is good for the environment?

Question

Tell me prices, whether it uses gas (if so how much--in comparison with regular cars), and anything else too. Thanks.

Answer 1

Go with the upcoming JEtta TDI clean burning diesel. No pesky harmful batteries to dispose of later on.

Answer 2

Vw,or Mercedes diesel run on biodiesel.VW 50 mpg Mercedes 37 mpg.

Answer 3

Right now the best is the Prius.  Base model costs $21k.  It gets about 50 mpg, so gas costs about 8 cents per mile (for $4/gallon gas).  In comparison, if you have a 30 mpg car, gas costs 13.3 cents per mile.  So if you drive 10,000 miles per year, you're saving $533 per year on gas.

Another option in the near future is fully electric cars.  The first affordable highway speed EV is about to come out in June '08 - the Green Vehicles Traic.

It will be able to go 80 mph, 100 miles per charge, and cost $20k.  EVs cost about 2-3 cents per mile to recharge, so you're talking about saving over $1,000 per year on fuel.
