Ok hear me out: gas is costing my mother in law $75 a tank for her mini van. She said when she first got it a few months ago it was costing her $60 to fill. She says it’s unaffordable now. She is going to finance a Toyota Prius. The monthly payments will be at least $350 a month (probably a lot more, she has awful credit w/ reposession). That brings her montly car costs up to $350 plus the cost of gasoline. So it would be over $600 a month for her to drive, versus the $300 plus a month in gas. I read you’d have to own your car for atleast three years in order to break even on the money you save on gas & the monthly payments on the new car. She has yet to keep a car more than a few months due to accidents and repos! So why buy a new car when you can’t afford it?

With the (up to) 10% ethynol in our gas I went from 16.5 to 15.5 mile per gallon. I average about 15.5 gallons per fill up. With this loss (only 1 mile per gallon) at $3.00 per gallon, I lose about $2.79 or 0.93 gallons per fill up. Looking at it another way I could say I am paying $3.18 per gallon.
So is this helping us or not?
I stand corrected on my spelling. It is indeed Ethanol. Thanks for catching my error.
