Weiner-Mobile goes compact

Saturday, May 10, 2008
The old seven-seater Weiner-Mobile is giving way to a much smaller mini-Cooper version of the classic hot-dog shaped promotional oddity.

The driver says the new model gets up to 30 miles per gallon - that's compared to between 10 and 15 for the older full-size Weiner-Mobile.

He also claims the downsized version is more fun to drive.
