So which is easier on your wallet: diesel or gasoline-electric hybrid?
I've run the numbers and, as it turns out, it's a wash.
The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI will cost you 40 cents a kilometre to drive for the first four years, or $7,989.55 a year.
The 2010 Honda Insight will run you about 42 cents a kilometre. That number is an estimate, though a good one. Honda Canada won't announce the actual price until closer to launch date in April. But at about $20,000, Honda's newest hybrid will run you $8,327.75 a year.
The small annual difference in ownership costs between the two fuel-sippers really boils down to one thing: the price of money.
