Russ ya gotta take into consideration operating cost over the life of the equipment, not just fuel efficiency. A 2% savings on something that gets 6-8 MPG isn't very much if it causes major failures that can run into the tens of thousands of dollars to repair.

They pay 350 or so a month to save 20 or so in gas over their older paid for car. Somehow that doesn't make much sense. My youngest son drives a late 90's paid for car in good condition.
