I just did some rough figures on my car and I paid about 1500 over what I could have gotten a Civic EX. My avg. mileage is 53.8 for about 615 gal. of gas. If I had bought a car that I received a avg. of 40 mpg I would have used about 828 gal.If I had a car that got 35 mpg, more like I probably would have gotten, I would have used about 946 gal. of gas. using those figures at 2.00 for the avg. it will take me about 3 years to pay for the 1500.00. as the price of gas goes up it going to be less of course.Kevin
