well i drive 45,000 miles a year average. car is 4 years old and has over 180000 miles on it. not to mention west coast prices are insane for gas. mpg doesnt matter as much in places like texas or alabama
a 5 mpg boost in my car equals to 50-60 extra miles of range, which can make a huge difference in making it to a cheaper gas station to fill up
for example, driving from portland to boise on one tank of gas can let me make it to a costco, and save 50 cents to a dollar per gallon of gas, which is a lot of money when completely filling up. the gas stations in between boise and portland are close to a dollar more than the boise costco
5 mpg boost is also saving an extra gallon of gas per fill up which is almost 5 dollars, when that could be used towards lunch. or on a multi state trip with several tanks filled up, that savings could equal a nice dinner at a restaurant saved or a super dirt cheap hotel room or added day of vacation
