Ahahaha, this is the funniest thread ever. Lets see, the previous owner of my truck lived in Chicago and got 165k on the motor and tranny, figure 70% hwy at 13mpg and 7.5mpg city @ $3/gal = $26653.84 + $19,800 = $46,453.84 + Cost oforiginal vehicle = ~$26,000 which is a total of $72,453.84 running total for previous owner on this truck w/o all maintenance and repair bills. Now I got this vehicle for $6,800 and put on 3400 miles in one year at 48% hwy = $376.61 + $707.2 = $1,083.81 for me so far not including the 4wd's 4mpg crap. = [&o]

Ok , now lets do it
With gas @$1.14per liter X 4.54 liters for a Canadian(imperial) gallon= $5.17 per gallon

For the USA guys and gals $1.14 per liter X 3.87 liters for a U.S. gallon = $4.41 per gallon

this is with the CDN/USA dollar at par, which they are almost at now

have fun [sm=pcwhack.gif]

yeh, me too. kinda like those fun facts like how much you spend on your kid until he or she is on their own. but you can't sell the kid.

my saving grace is my truck is for short hauls and not a daily driver.
