I don't recall specifically, but I think it was similar to my 5 year est (bolded below) for the standard EPA 55/45 driving mix. My 5 year estimate is basically the mid point between my high/low annual estimates multiplied by 5.What number of driven mile estimates did you use in your calculations?

4200 less for fuel and 1000 less for the up front cost.If you keep your Hybrid Mav until 120,000 miles you will pay $4200 less for fuel vs. the 2.0 FWD. The main differences are HP and fuel tank size.
I know, I know. Millions of different variables can effect mpg.
You could do better than that if you smoke. Just quit and look at what you would saveI don't go to Starbucks I can save the $$ difference every month and keep my 4k.
I would calculate it at 18 K miles a year of the cost savings two different ways —at all highway and savings at all city driving?I've calculated that considering fuel, upfront cost, and interest/opportunity cost, the hybrid is like to save an owner about $10-15K over 10 years of ownership compared to the AWD EB. So, about $100/mo.
Well I got AWD for winter weather, but also since we're so close to hitting the climate change tipping point, when the ice caps melt, the flooding of all the coastal plains will definitely disrupt everything and AWD will be the minimum you need to get around. Looking at an electric dirt bike that I can recharge from solar panels to get around in the ensuing chaos when gasoline is unobtainium.The 4K if you need it, for sure. I initially calculated the hybrid vs AWD calculation to show the "cost" versus the "value" for marginal AWD user cases (i.e., standard winter driving). It's why I've never really thought of AWD as essential for me in MN, I've been driving in the upper Midwest for almost 30 years (most of that with FWD), and there's maybe once a year where I feel like I want AWD, and that's not worth the cost to me (especially with the huge cost delta for the Maverick).
So your numbers are based on 12.5 K a year driving?I don't recall specifically, but I think it was similar to my 5 year est (bolded below) for the standard EPA 55/45 driving mix. My 5 year estimate is basically the mid point between my high/low annual estimates multiplied by 5.

The savings are stackable.I don't go to Starbucks I can save the $$ difference every month and keep my 4k.
I did a range. That's basically the mid point.So your numbers are based on 12.5 K a year driving?
I don’t care. I love my eco and wouldn’t change a thing. There’s no wrong choice if you get what you want.If you keep your Hybrid Mav until 120,000 miles you will pay $4200 less for fuel vs. the 2.0 FWD. The main differences are HP and fuel tank size.
I know, I know. Millions of different variables can effect mpg.
Here ya go.I would calculate it at 18 K miles a year of the cost savings two different ways —at all highway and savings at all city driving?
