Its been 1 year of logging my fuel consumption. I estimate that I've saved $828 in gas compared to the EPA combined rating of our old vehicle. Its a great feeling knowing I've saved some money.

When in reality it may actually be more. We were getting 16mpg on a regular basis out of that car not the 20mpg combined rating I'm using.

This isn't even counting the money we saved on not having to repaire the old car. It need a new wheel barring, A/C system was on it way out, the car needed tires and it also had almost 100,000 miles.
