What about the cost to convert to electric? roughly $10-20k
as I understand from my research, conversion to NG is dominated by the cost imposed by the government. In India it is very inexpensive. In california, it is essentially outlawed. but I agree, electric is the way to go for the future, no Co2, renewable energy via wind or solar panels.
someone must buy a new cars, or there would not be used ones!
Buying a new car to increase MPG is a false economy, but there are many reasons to buy a car, new or used. The warranty is like the payment plan for repairs.
Yep, not always about money. People spend money are many things.
I don't need a boat, but it makes time with my family very enjoyable.
Many of the modifications discussed here also don't make sense.
My MGEO will not recover the build costs in gas savings in all likelihood.
It is more a hobby and a challenge, but does move us in the right direction for the future. If oil becomes $500/barrel, then it WILL have a big ROI.

Then you need to consider that for at least some of us, it's not really about money at all.
