For me it is really about TCO, total cost of ownership.
Purchase price + Gas Cost + Maintenance = TCO
TCO Jeep 153,000 miles most at $4 per gallon
Jeep purchase + Repairs was $16,400
Gas per year ran about $8,160 (over 5 years $40,800)
Repairs run $1,500 per year (over 5 years $7,500)
So around $57,200 to for 153,000 miles
