“There’s more to life than fuel economy.”

Add in maintenance and capital costs and you are talking about $8k a year about $500k a lifetime.

I have had the vehicle about 14 years. I have less than $1500 in maintenance during that time — including on-schedule oil changes. $100/year average. Oh, and one set of tires — another $1500 — another $100/year. Did I mention I do my own repairs?

Here’s the simple truth: you have no idea what you’re talking about.
