hmmm...so, factoring in a car payment on a "newer" car, even if used, plus insurance....is it better to drive something that is paid off and gets lower mileage? I think so....thats why I still drive my 3/4ton 4x4 each day. I go thru around $250/mo in fuel.  For about $5K, I can convert to dual fuel..natural gas, get the same mileage but pay around 75 cents per gallon (last I checked).  Its the 5K to come up with, and how long till it really gets paid for.  I've got 200K on the truck, and plan on keeping it for another 100K at least.
