Default Re: Trade an 05 HAH for an 07 TCH (?)

Or if you drive 150/miles a day for commute, then 39,000 a year for commute, savings start to add up.

HAH @ 29 MPG = 1,345 Gallons @ $3.00 = $4,035

TCH @ 38 MPG = 1,026 Gallons @ $3.00 = $3,078

Annual savings of $957

So If I was in your shoes, I might change, but probably not.

For comparison, I was driving a F250 or a Land Rover Discovery. Fuel price was about the same as the truck takes diesel, and the Rover takes premium. Both got 15 MPG.

Disco @ 15 MPG = 2,600 Gallons @ $3.30 = $8,580

TCH @ 38 MPG = 1,026 Gallons @ $3.00 = $3,078

Anual savings of $5,502

That is a no brainer.
