I figured it out and at $3.00 per gal I'm saving about $50.00 per week. I now use less then 6 gal a week. I am so glad I bought this car. I'll probably still have to drive the truck in the snow this winter but I figure for what I paid for the car it will pay for itself in less than a year. I'll do some modding this winter.
Excellent. My 4x4 Ranger is in the same situation. I used to drive it 10-15,000 miles per year; now it's less than 4,000. As a side benefit, it will last a lot longer and be available when I actually need it (hauling, getting out in the snow.)
