My odometer pass 89,000 miles today.
What do you think my answer will be?
let's do some scary math...
89,000 miles at approximately 17.5 mpg... is 5085 gallons.
Let's assume that the average price (here in sunny & pricey California) over the past 4 years is $2.00... that's well over $10,000.
Same mileage in some econobox that got 30 mpg... 2900 gallons. $6,000.
So for an extra $1000 per year in gas money I got to drive The Beast. Even at $3.00 per gallon, that's $1500 a year to drive what I want to drive. I spend 2 hours a day in my car. That's money well spent to keep me happy, healthy and sane.
NO CONTEST!!! :thumbsup:
