A group of 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrids drive down the Santa Monica Pier during the ‘Think Blue. World Championship 2012’ competition on Tuesday, November 27, 2012. The drivers competed in a fuel efficiency challenge from San Francisco to Santa Monica. Driver who completed the run with the lowest fuel consumption was the winner. There were 17 countries competing in the race. Germany took first place with a mileage of 49.9 miles per gallon. The Volkswagen fuel saving championship shows that environmentally aware driving is just as challenging as any other driving competition – but much better for the environment. More conscious driving can cut fuel consumption by up to 25%.
