Not a very good variety especially from Ford but again proving what a crock Hybrids are, before taking into account their hiked up purchase costs.
It needs mentioning, that the placing is judged on the overall cost of the trip, and in NZ diesels are taxed per km, so that put the Mini diesel behind the Honda Hybrid. They just needed the Skoda Fabia TDi and Fiesta Econetic which would have given the hybrids a good hiding.
What were FordNZ thinking not entering the Fiesta

So over 1763 km a WRX STi used 33 litres more than a Honda City... I know what I'd rather be driving

Sure is bollocks
