Simple math at that point.
1) Calculate total cost of repair.
2) Calculate time it would take for the cost of 1/3 reduction in fuel mileage to equate to cost of repair.
3) answer the question, "Will she keep the car for that amount of time or longer?"
4) If yes, then cost of repair is worthwhile,
5) If no, then the relatively lesser cost of 'extra' fuel due to mileage reduction does not justify the repair.
