Where is everyone coming up with this $400/month savings?
Figure 15,000 miles/year average @ 20 mpg. That's 750 gal @ $4.00/gal = $3000/yr /12 = $250/mo. How in hell do you save $400/mo when you are only spending $250/mo in the first place??? EVs are still a long way from economic sense, unless you DIY. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I just hope that people with much deeper pockets do it to support the advancement of the technology. I just filled up my 09 jetta tdi today... after driving an entire week I burned a whopping 7.9 gallons (yes I have a huge commute) it cost me 29 bucks. Now if I was looking at it vs my jeep that I parked 6 weeks ago it would have been pretty attractive. I was dropping 75 bucks twice a week to drive my jeep. ... However, amongst alternatives I would be saving even further if I had bought a prius. I just still wanted handling, accleration and some form of styling on my daily driver.... (this is not a bash on the prius as I am still trying to convince my wife to drive one) .... |
