25% is due to the original purchase, 33% is due to mods in car and driving style. The $3000.- figure is due to the average household spending on fuel for 2 cars so depending on how you want to look at it this may be an over statment. yet the fact remains that I spend $3000.- less the the average household. one car to one car comparison is therefore about half. So if you resrict yourself to one fuel efficiant car like a priuse or yaris you will spend $3000.- less on fuel than the average household.
