At 314,000 miles I compared my fuel expense for the modified T-100 to that of a Ford F-150.It was a very basic comparison,using 55% City/45% HWY.
The Toyota was figured at 31.5mpg/21mpg,the F-150 at 16/11.
Cost was figured at $2.599/gallon (what I paid the other day ).
So basically,The T-100 has consumed $30,000 worth of fuel over it's lifetime so far.Had I driven a F-150,the tally would be $60,000.
I've saved $30,000 by driving the Toyota,and comparing to it's price,new,at $15,000,it's paid for itself twice through fuel savings.
