with $4/gallon gas that's $5/week or $20 a week for the real car.
If your going for the gusto you might as well alter driving habits and get an insight, though a subaru 360 comes close.

Too bad there are only a handfull of cars that are real easy to get above 60mpg and they all likely cost more than $2k when purchased under normal circumstances.
