Lets have some fun shall we? If anyone finds any errors let me know.

Humm lets compare economy of a v8. v8 premium $1000, 10 stops per day, average wage for owner $35/hr. V8 acceleration 0-60 = 5 seconds, I4 0-60 acceleratation 10 seconds


Number of times needed to accelerate from a stop light = 10 (just a random number.)

Time saved = 10(stops) *5(seconds) = 50 seconds per day
50 seconds per day * 365 = 18250 seconds or 304.17 minutes a year or 5.07 hours a year

5.07 hours * $35/hour = 177.45

It will take over 5 1/2 years to make up the cost of the premium for the V8.

This assumes a) the car only has a $1000 premium for the v8 and b) the person buying it makes $35/hr, and c) we don't deduct for the added fuel cost of a car getting 18 miles per gallon vs 30 miles per gallon.

Boy, V8s are a real waste of money. No wonder there are so few on the road.

There we go. Thats my fake article evaluating the worthyness of V8 vehicles.
