I will end up buying the base engine for 2700$ cheaper. The difference in gas between the 1.8 base car and 1.4 turbo eco model is maybe 400$ a year.
And the base has 16 inch tires. (Cheaper maintenance)
So it would take 6 years to pay for the difference in price with better mpg of the eco model.
With the price of tires I will round out the difference at about 7 years.
And I can engine off coast with the 1.8 liter. I am very certain that I can achieve the Eco MPG numbers with the base model with tire inflation, and my scan gauge 2 and just basic hypermiling techniques. I may be able to supass them actually.
That's the side im leaning on now. Base model.
