At what number does gas mileage make sense to you?
This is a repost I made in another thread...
In many ways I agree with the "4Runner isn't a prius" posts.
If a Prius did the job for me I still wouldn't be driving one.
But I like to spend my money on other things beside gas.
I've driven my 4R for 100,000+ miles. I've averaged 21MPG and the average cost per gallon over that time has worked out to $3.19.
$15,190 on gas!
If I got a crappy 15mpg I would've spent $21,267.
$6,000 will buy a lot of beer.
Code:
