I was just throwing numbers out for fun. Making fun of the guy with not only a high car payment (on his fuel efficient new car) but he also has high full coverage insurance costs as well. Look at my numbers to the left if you think I really spend that kind of money on gas. I'm with ya.. Old cheap high mpg cars then drive right and do even better. I do drive a lot but spend as little as possible. It isn't all about the cost however, I like the game. Beating my personal best is always a goal. Also, saving a tank that had a bad start or what ever.
