But you have to admit, it works, at least for the car salesman. As it said, But if your prime motivator is the sticker shock at the gas pump, act with caution. While a new vehicle may help you save at the pump, it can significantly increase your overall costs. Do you think the salesman will tel you the part where it can significantly increase your overall cost? I'll bet he won't even tell you about the insurance difference.
