$50 = $3.96 * (0.09977 - 0.09853) * miles = 0.0049104 * miles
miles = $50 / 0.0049104 = 10,182.47 miles



Oh, so you do not plan on driving it 10,182.5 miles?

I am glad that we could have this talk.
I pay 4.15. Cheapest around me is 3.99. Also yea, I will probably be putting that many miles on it. I have only had the car for a week and a half and I have already put 1.5k miles on it.

[Edit]: Probably won't have the money for another 3-4 months. So I will probably rack around 20k miles before then, maybe 15k.
