Smile Re: Automotive myths

That gas mileage is a major or key driver of vehicle costs....ie: paying at the pumps.

Fuel is one of the smallest costs you will probably have to worry about relative to overall 'true' vehicle costs....particularly if the vehicle is new or near new.

However, we have been trained and indoctrinated to think that we must 'save at the pumps' in order to personally save money on a vehicle....lol.

Many people don't realize that in buying a new car and financing and insuring it...the last thing they need to worry about is gas mileage draining their pocket books.

I have also found this myth interesting and somewhat entertaining.

This begs the question: how would you go about buying and running a vehicle from a purely maximum economical standpoint?...that would perhaps be its own interesting thread.

All good
