We had a bit of a debate yesterday about MPG and this little video above resolved it.  The question was, would we save more on gas getting two VW bugs and driving around as a family caravan (since we need to fit three carseats), or in a 2000's Chevy Suburban?  I thought for sure two VW's would be more fuel efficient than one massive suburban.

The reason I thought this is because we currently drive the most wonderful little car on the planet, a 1996 two-door Geo Metro named Marshmallow.  We have now replaced the back brake shoes, and the muffler and we'll soon be doing the front brakes and the catalytic converter.  Once we do those it should purr like a kitten.  The most wonderful thing of all is that we are getting about 50 MPG.  We assumed that the VW would be comparable, and how much more cool it would be to have two matching beetles following each other around, lol.

Unfortunately, a VW only gets about 21-25 MPG.  A Chevy Suburban for the 200's gets about 18-20.  So technically, they are about the same.  Driving two Bugs is like driving a Suburban.  

Which brings me to the quote of the day...
