The metric is "miles per GALLON (of fuel)" -- not miles per DOLLAR.


People get hung up on mpg and ignore cost to own.

The price of gas goes up so people sell the paid off gas guzzler and go
into debt thousands of dollars to save $4 a week on the fuel cost.

If you drive 10,000 miles a year, at 25 mpg you'd buy 400 gallons but at
35 mpg only 285 gallons. So, you save 115 gallons. Yeah, that
justifies buying a new economical car.
