Pole Position
Yes I agree, but we were talking about the poster changing one ICE truck for another ICE truck because of gas savings alone. The point was that's rarely if ever going to make sense, particularly with a truck.

Of course not. Lol
But if a company has a fleet of cars doing high mileage sales calls I can see a Tesla or Mache or something.
I was running 700 miles a week on my last job doing electrical sales calls to the factories across a large area
Before I went to college back in the day I owned a tow truck and my fuel bill was approx $1k a month, back then.
Getting 50% better gas mileage made the truck payment on a much nicer and newer and should I say less repair cost older truck.

This used to be my daily 1 way commute to work in my 3rd gen Prius. Around 1,000 miles per week. Cost me around $40/week in gas. I put over 50k miles on it that year. Just have to have the right car for the job.

today at $3.50 a gallon more like would be ~$6 for gas or 11c a mile.

moreover, why do you KEEP bringing up *GAS* consumption in the *EV* forum, and in a thread about a Tesla Model S no less?

so 97.1mi at 55.1mpg = 1.76 gallons. you paid $3.73 for 1.76 gallons? must have been some time ago?
today at $3.50 a gallon more like would be ~$6 for gas or 11c a mile.
yup - my EV is 4c/mi.

Had 2 flats during that time. Had to throw on the spare in middle of the night. What would’ve been your cost per flat at 3am?
Why didn’t you question the person I quoted the same thing? 🧐

There are honestly very few circumstances where gas savings alone would justify switching vehicles, particularly a paid off vehicle to one with a payment. You also have to factor in sales tax, registration fees and so on over and above gas savings. The difference in gas cost over per 15,000 miles with gas at say $3.50 between a 25 mpg and a 15 mpg vehicle is only $1400.
Okay…💁♂️
