I suppose at some time there will be a convergence beyond which you're actually paying more for gas than if you had purchased a new car, but if you're the type who doesn't dwell on the past and treat each day as a new one, you'll still save money in the future if you don't purchase a new car while having lost money in the past. How's that for a contradiction?
