[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3117607, member: 6281"] Ok, lets assume $3.00/gal fuel and you buy a car that gets 35 mpg to replace your truck that gets 15 mpg. Average 20k miles a year driven, you'll save $2,900 in a year. If you only paid $3000 for the car, thats still a year to ROI if it doesnt start nickle and diming you. Most go out and buy a $15,000 car to save that same $2,900 a year on fuel so ROI is 5 years (not including car value loss) at which time your car is worth about $5,000 so you lost 10,000 in equity which means you have to drive it it another 4 years to make up that loss. God forbid you buy a $30,000 car for the purpose of saving on fuel. Buying a car for the sole reason of getting better millage with this misguided concept it will pay you, is...misguided. The math doesnt lie. [/QUOTE]
