I feel a fuel cost savings is not accurate enough, you need to calculate the total cost of ownership on both including new fuel cost and see how it works out.
say 15k miles a year this is all hypothetical:
monthly fixed cost:
insurance-50
payment-150
annual cost
registration-120
inspection-40
non fixed
Maintenance
oil/filter/air/-$7.5 monthly
fuel-200 monthly
wear n tear lets say tires cost $800 and last 50k miles-so $22 monthly
this is all very simple but all you have to do is something similar and which ever car cost less =/- better resale after 5-10 years etc.
the above car cost $5314 per year or .35 cents per mile IF you drive 15k per year etc.
