Yahoo has a huge new section on their site about being Green Their Gas Mileage Calculator is kinda fun if you're trying to decide how much you're really spending vs how much you might save. Gas Mileage Calculator :wub:
How are they calculating 56 mpg anyway? I average 45-47. Either way, the difference between my Prius and my Isuzu SUV is tremendous.
A spreadsheet that is a little less fancy and only does mpg and trip cost that I got from another member on here (I think) a couple of years ago is attached. It is easy to modify the mpg, miles per year, trip length, and shows the values based on different gas prices (I have made a few changes to update it closer to current gas prices.) I sent one comparing the TCH with the regular Camry to my dad to show him the numbers. I think it is very interesting to see how once gas hits $3 a gallon or more, a person may be spending more money on gas than they did on the car. Even at 5 years, we are talking about $10K+. Anyway, I hope someone finds it useful. I know it helped me feel more smarmy about my purchase. And who doesn't want more smarm?
