boy you really do double down on a losing hand.
Losing? Are we in a contest? I thought we were discussing cost per mile. I always surprisingly found that the fuel component was the least of it. My last car that I got rid of cost $55k more than I sold it for and had 50,000 miles on it. For a depreciation cost of $1.10 a mile. It averaged about 18 mpg so over the life of it call gas $2.50/gal which worked out to about 14 cents a mile. Point being the fuel component of the operating cost is one of least important parts. I sold it with about $8500 in repairs needed, but I learned to expect a lot more things break on a car you take to the track.
