i was just going to say what ptquilts said. for my use, i only get 12mpg around town and 22mpg on a trip. but i only drive about 6000/year. my 'savings' would only be $1200/yr also. i've been dying for a Prius for the last 10 years. i don't think i can justify that on a fixed income. i guess i might gift myself if i inherit any money... but i can't think of anyone that would leave me that much money
