Total saved vs. EPA in this car since February (when I bought it)- $895.77. In January and February I saved $49.48 vs. EPA in the Albatross, so I'm up $945.25 since my fill up on 9 Jan 14. Costs- well, I had to buy a car. Choosing an efficient one wasn't a cost, as such. I sent out my UltraGauge to get the software update and spent maybe $20-$25 on parts for a kill switch that I haven't done up yet.

So I'm up $900 on the year, but little to none of that was related to my expenses. I bought an iPod this year because my car has an adapter for it and now I am in so much of a better mood while driving because of it. Pathetic, really. I'll be listing that $130 as a modding cost next year even though I listen to music on it when I'm not in the car, too.
