Scary stuff guys. Here is some food for thought.. Want a free car over the next 100K miles worth of driving? Just did the math.

A gas sucking SUV that gets 15MPG would use 6666.666 gallons of fuel over 100K miles, scary how that number came up huh That is $26,666.66 in fuel @ $4 a gallon.

Now get rid of that money drain and get say a scion XD, XA, Yaris or Civic, somthing that can get 38mpg or above. Over that same 100,000 miles you would use 2631.57 gallons of gas which at $4 a gallon = $10,526.31 in fuel cost.

A difference of $16,140.35 Which is what I paid for my XD *LOL* So over my old SUV I sold off, over a 100K mile period, I will have a free car out of it, of course minus the tax, title, licence and finance charges hahahaha.

Yeah, sold the 4runner to get the xd. Smartest thing I have done in a long time The gas savings a month over my long commute almost pay for the car payment haha.
