[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3328470, member: 15054"] I like math lets see how this plays out. 36,500 miles a year driven times 2.25 a gallon for fuel. (gasoline) 30 MPG vehicle. 1216.6 gallons of fuel a year. $2737.50 in fuel cost change the oil every 3,000 miles at $30. $365 a year for oil changes. $3102.50 for driving a 30 MPG vehicle a year. My car averaged 33.5MPG and was driven 70,000 miles a year and another was getting 38 MPG and then the hot rod was getting 15-18 MPG it was driven 70,000 a year for 2 years. This was back years ago gas was cheaper. So you are looking at basically 9000 bucks to go 100,000 miles in a gasoline car. No idea what the fuel cost will be on the electric car but that needs factored in. It was a negative for me to upgrade from a 30+ MPG car and those cars can be had for pretty cheap back then Used of course. But I had them already. and they worked fine..Liability insurance on them and Full coverage needs to be considered into the math .. unless you buy it outright. I never made payments on any car. Never had full coverage on one either. Best MPG car we ever had was an early civic that got 53 MPG. [/QUOTE]
