Portland 2 Portland Green Test Drive Jetta TDI Vs Hybrid - Stuck in Chicago traffic

The Portland-to-Portland Test Drive Challenge.

How far will we go to tell a story? In what could be the longest test drive in U.S. history, the Green Human team created a social media campaign to compare the clean burning VW Diesel to a Toyota Prius. We drove them both 7,800 miles from Portland Maine to Portland Oregon with ratings and info on fuel efficiency, passenger ergonomics, driving enjoyment and more. Story below.
