No one was bashing the Prius and obviously since both of their MPGs are close the Prius would have cost less to fill up given the higher cost of diesel.

Has a bigger gas tank. (whoop-dee-doo). The Jetta has a 14-gallon gas tank. The prius has an 11-gallon gas tank. That's why the Prius needed to fill up at 570 miles. The Prius actually beat the Jetta during that trip for fuel costs, considering that diesel cost $4.65 on average while regular unleaded cost $4.05.
