In 2 years... still no payoff
I have done some numeric analysis on owning an extra economy vehicle. I bought an economy car two years ago and have been keeping track of fuel usage since. I have saved 1400 in fuel driving 31,000 miles. The VW has put on 18000 of the 31000 miles. My other two cars are not built for economy, an Econoline and a Windstar.
I have a purchase price of 2000 on the VW I figure another 1000 in repairs, service and insurance. Perhaps in two more years I will break even. Glad that I didn't start with a new or late model Prius.
