Not sure if this was discussed in Toshi's thread or not but....
Say you own two cars. An SUV and a small car. (say a Civic). You want to replace one of them to save the amount of fuel you burn...your costs etc....
Assume you rack up the same mileage on both cars, and maintenance and all that is about equal.
So now say you either:
Replace your current SUV that gets 12mpg and replace it with one that gets 15 mpg (3 mpg better)
or:
Replace your little car that gets 35 mpg with a super efficient car that gets 50 mpg. (15 mpg better)
Which option gets you further ahead?
