Sorry but his MATH is way off, he saved about 13,700 gallons getting 52 MPG vs 25 MPG on 660k.
82,500/13,700 =more than $6 He’d have to have been paying $6 a gallon to save the kind of money he is claiming... and while the average price of gas today is $3 in 2000, it was $1.51... it has spiked briefly to 4 during that time but the average cost of gas over the last 20 years has not been $3.
I have nothing against Hybrids, or electrics, but this guys math is WAY WAY OFF... It’s broken down in my original post.
How do you figure 13,700? I just took 660,000 and divided by 25 (his free additional mileage and I get 26,400 miles. Am I looking at the problem wrong?
Oops, never mind. You are correct. I see what I did was wrong. He saved about 26400 - 12692 = 13708 gallons.
At even 4 dollars a gallon that is just over 50k. So he is either paying the highest priced gas in the country or his savings are inflated
