1 - a daily driver is not an investment unless you like investing to lose money.Replace could mean park it or sell it in order to drive the other one more but thats not even a factor.
Certainly its cheaper to drive your civic than your truck. I NEVER said otherwise. But I know a LOT of people who will go buy a civic or whatever for the sole reason of pocketing lots of money on fuel savings. And what I said was the ROI on that situation is a ways out, a long ways maybe, depending on the exact numbers etc. And I proved it with some hypothetical numbers. You can sway those numbers however you think might be more accurate and it wont move the needle
So yes, you will save money yearly driving your civic, no doubt. But your ROI will be a while out to catch that $20,000 cost plus depreciation etc.
If you bought the car cause momma wanted it and the good milage is just a bonus, then it's a non issue.
If you bought it solely to screw the man at the pump, your not seeing the truth.
And I'm not trying to be insulting.

your reading comprehension sucks1 - a daily driver is not an investment unless you like investing to lose money.
2 - your hypothetical math is not right.
3 - depreciation does not add to the cost of the vehicle.
4 - if you bought a vehicle that gets better mileage to screw the man at the pump, you do the same screwing to the man at the pump no matter what the vehicle cost.
No, I just interpret what you say literally.your reading comprehension sucks
Jeez, I need to rethink my fuel budget. We are heading out there on the 31st. Didn't realize it was that much higher!$3.28 per gallon for unleaded gasoline with 10% ethanol in Kanab, Utah. Around here, the price can jump 20 cents at a time.
Sucks to be in a town that thrives on tourists. Kanab has a population of about 5000 people, however, there are currently something like 16 hotels, motels, and RV parks here. In addition, there is another hotel currently being built and 3 more hotels are planned and possibly as many as 3 to 5 new RV parks.
By that "logic," factory production machinery isn't an investment, either.No, I just interpret what you say literally.
What does ROI mean to you? A daily driver is not an investment unless you like investing to lose money.
Your math still sucks.
Most factory Production machinery is not owned by the companies that use them.By that "logic," factory production machinery isn't an investment, either.
A daily driver is a tool of production; it enables you to get to work (and/or other things that you need to do, the rewards for which may or may not be financial in nature). Hell, even an expensive diesel truck can be an investment; it's return is what it enables.
