I start crunching the numbers.
Avg person will drive 1200 mile per month
Cost of gas 2.70
MPG Gal per month Cost Per month
16 75 202
17 71 192
18 67 181
19 63 170
20 60 162
21 57 154
22 55 148
23 52 140
24 50 135
25 48 130
26 46 124
27 44 119
28 43 116
29 41 111
30 40 108
As I drive Now I get 17 MPG if I drive really good, I can push 20 mpg a saving of 40 dollars a month. OR.... I could trade for more mpg say 17 to 30 mpg I would save 84 dollars a month plus higher car payments,plus higher insurance, plus take it in the shorts on trade in. OR.... buy old and pay cash,no payment ,less insurance.. But how much on repairs? old car still sitting there cost me but can't drive it. I guess I will do like everyone else and just complain about the price and hope that it will go down. You end up saving about the same if the price of gas goes up or if you drive more miles a month the ratio of savings per month is about the same money. Get a bike??? maybe
