I calculated how much gas would have to cost for me to get rid of my paid-for 15mpg '98 K2500 and replace it with a, say, Toyota Corolla. The break even point, including payment and insurance is $5.00 per gallon. At the rate I use the truck it will last me another 15 years. I'd be a fool to "save money" by buying a new car.

I recently made the same decision. I estimated that it'd cost me at least $400/mo to replace my '96 F-150. Even at today's prices that at lot of gas.
