Skating to where the puck is going

62K would be affordable to most people if you factor in "free" gas... if they ever get it where it's how you claim it could be, then that will be one thing. I just don't see it.

Hmm, I don't see the "affordable to most people" thing. We spend about $2500 a year on gas, which is probably less than most, but still. I don't see the person spending $16k on a Hyundai being willing (or able) to jump up to $62k because they'd make back the extra $46k on free gas after 20 years or so...

Maybe not most people... but I know me personally, I spend $4000 a year EASY on gas... factor in the avg car price is $30k in the us over a 6 year note and that's 54k in car + gas. If I were to keep the car for 10 years(granted, I doubt it would last 10 years... especially with the mileage I put on em), I'm easily making my $ back
