Want a free civic, yaris or scion xa or xd? Own a gas ******* SUV? hmm...

Scary stuff guys. Here is some food for thought. Want a free car over the next 100K miles? Kind of slaps you in the face when the math is done.

A gas ******* SUV that gets 15MPG would use 6666.666 gallons of fuel over 100K miles, scary how that number came up huh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif That is $26,666.66 in fuel @ $4 a gallon.

Now get rid of that money drain and get say a scion XD, XA, Yaris or Civic, somthing or whatever that can get 38mpg or above. Over that same 100,000 miles you would use 2631.57 gallons of gas which at $4 a gallon = $10,526.31 in fuel cost.

A difference of $16,140.35 Which is what I paid for my XD *LOL* So over my old SUV I sold off, over a 100K mile period, of course minus the tax, title, licence and finance charges. Just scary to think about how much can be saved at todays sick fuel costs.

Pretty scary stuff.

I wish I was closer to work, Right now I have a 90-95 mile a day commute. & the way AZ people drive on the freeway, well that is why I sold my 01 r6 a few years back. + I have kids so they need a decent relaible car with good ac in the Az heat.

Thats true, but I'd rather drive my gas ******* SUV that I love than drive a vehicle that I hate. And yes, I do hate most fuel efficient vehicles, IE: Civics, Accords, most imports, Yaris, etc. I just can't stand the look or the sound of them.

gas price is a variable that will never stay the same so the numbers gonna be way off no matter what you plug in there. Definitely do have a point tho

with prices going up you get a car and a system & money for hookers

I never thought of it that way though. You bring a good point. At first I thought this was going to be a scam
