It costs me $3500 a year to fuel the benz, and climbing!

I would still take a good look at the cost per mile....


My friend on this board has a Toyota that gets 25mps on regular, and his sister has a VW TDi that gets like 35 mpgs....

We looked at it closely, and did some math, and the Toyota comes up considerably less per mile.
