I have no idea how many times my '88 Escort Pony has paid for itself in fuel savings. My previous daily driver was a '76 Chrysler Cordoba which got about 14-16 MPG the Escort has averaged 41.59 MPG since I started my fuel log. I paid $500 for the Escort in '93 with 146K miles on it, today it's got over 517K miles, so no doubt it's paid for itself several times in gas savings alone. It has also been involved in a couple of accidents that I've pocketed about $1000. on by electing to do the necessary repairs and forget the rest.
