Default How well are you doing?

OK, I used to drive an Expedition (14.4 mpg average) but when I traded it and my Infiniti FX for the TCH and a 4 Runner, the TCH became my daily drive and the 4 Runner our tow vehicle. My savings should be based on the EXPO because that's what we drove as the daily driver. HOWEVER to be conservative I'll compare it to the Infiniti milage so here is where I'm at.

3.5 months of ownership, 9400 miles, I checked the difference in 38.7 mpg for the TCH and 16.3 for the Infiniti FX45 with the infiniti gas costing 15 cents minimum more, and the difference in gallons used is 333.8 gallons or $1087 SAVINGS in just 3.5 months!

My payment went from $630/mo to $410/mo or another $220/month savings.

I still have $2600 in Federal Tax Credits and $3750 in State tax Credits (over three years) coming to me.

How can anybody doubt the logic of this automotive decision from an economic point of view????

Imagine what you could've saved if you'd just bought a good pair of Nikes.

In the shape I'm in it would have cost about $10K to bury me. I won't live long enough to have walked 9400 miles. I'll stick to my Tommy Bahama slip-on's.
