It's a balance though. Do it clearly for the money, may not always make sense. Do it for the environment and a clean conscious may be worth it. Want to save money? Get a used old Mercedes Benz, and convert it to run on VeggieOil. That's what I did. I haven't paid for fuel since January. Now that the price of diesel has gone up to $4.70+, well boys just want to have funds too... To take the girls out of course! <em>Austin Chu's last blog post..<a href='http://www.savvywallet.com/?p=41'>Identity Crisis: The many types of “gift cards”</a></em> Hey, I’m not a chick, but your post has some really good points.

My current Saturn got better mileage than the SUV. But, with petrol heading to $4 a gallon, I'm redoing the math for a Prius.

I was pretty disappointed too when I realized going out and buying a new car isn't cheaper. I was all excited for about 10 minutes. I had visions of wandering around the dealership and test driving hybrids. oh well... a few more years. <em>Mom @ Wide Open Wallet's last blog post..<a href='http://wideopenwallet.blogspot.com/2008/04/kids-dont-need-life-insurance.html'>Kids don't need life insurance.</a></em> hey cool.. thanks for the mention.

Honda and Toyota consistently rank as the top two manufacturers in terms of reliability, longevity, etc. I have a family member who drives a 13 year old Honda with close to 200K miles. It's still in great condition (mechanically and physically) and had never had any issues with the major components (i.e. engine, transmission). <em>savvy's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MsMoneySavvy/~3/275437749/'>Lifestyle Creep</a></em> As an aside, you should be able to get way more than 160K out of a Toyota.
