To trade up PT's for MPG's or not?
Hey Mopar Brethren,
Been wondering if you should give up your PT for a more fuel efficent vehicle? The results might shock you. I'm not looking to trade up, but I found this easy calculator on Edmunds.com to help you make the FINANCIAL part of the decision.
Go here:
Gas Mileage Savings Calculator: Car Cost vs. Fuel Savings
For me, driving 1,600 miles per month it would take me 13 years to START saving money over buying a USED 2004 VW Jetta TDI Wagon!
No thanks, I'll keep my 26-28 MPG PT!
Happy Calculating!
Tom
