Think you need to sell or need a second vehicle to save money on gas, see this article here:

and the calculator here:

Then we won't argue about how much it is going to cost you to get a different car or another car.

Interesting calculation.

2 remarks :
* If you increase the mileage you obviously increase the savings. The formula does not allow to change the mileage parameter.
* If you buy a MM, I cannot believe that the gas price was as criterion for selling or keeping. Otherwise, you would have been buying a TDI thing.

Excellent article. It certainly puts things into prospective, although one wonders about a reverse swap, say, trading your Prius for a Lincoln Navigator or Cadillac Escillade? :eek:

In any case, thanks for posting this great article. I award: :trophy1::trophy1:
