Depends on the costs really. For me, comparing my pickup@1,000 miles and 27mpg to my VW@9,000 miles getting twice the mileage shows a cost difference of more than $500. Since insurance on the extra vehicle is only ~$300+/year, it's clearly cheaper to have another more efficient vehicle for my needs. And, since I only need the pickup periodically, I don't have to pay for coverage year round, maybe just for four months out of the year when I use it, so now I'm saving over $700 thanks to having a vehicle that's twice as efficient.
