    Very impressive. I especially like that you figured out that gas savings are making half of your car payment.

    I'm going to have to study this more. I was trying to insert a link to the page, not the whole page. Sorry.

    On the reply page, click on the button that looks like a chain link. That will ask for the link, and a description. Then choose 'preview' to see your post and test the link before submitting.

    I've set up my spreadsheet to calculate cost per mile, including maintenance and cost of the vehicle in payments minus the equity remaining in the vehicle. Right now it comes to 62 cents a mile, but I figure it will go down as I drive it and pay down my debt.

    I estimated my Saturn cost me about 25 cents a mile, with an inflated estimate of $1000 in repairs over the 2 years I owned it. Also included the $2000 that I still owed the credit card (transferred the loan to it for lower interest) after what the insurance paid for it being totalled. I had put 80K on that car after buying it with 48K.

    I created a graph of MPG & ave monthly temps:

    [web:9e2823eecd]http://www.xecu.net/thorn/PriusMPGraph-04-2005.gif[/web:9e2823eecd]

    MPG seems to follow the temp.

    I'll try to do a cost / mile also. My gas bill went down alot since I do not drive my Toyota truck (13-15mpg).
