One can purchase a lot of gas if one compares the differential between miles per gallon and those additional costs mentioned, besides changing driving habits. For some, as or more important is the environmental costs of producing a new vehicle, the harmful battery materials for hybrids and more older vehicles in junkyards. My 17 year old car with 120K+ miles needs some repairs, gets 23 mpg in town, is comfortable and will probably last enough years to get to the next and better generation of fuel efficient or, hopefully, alternative energy vehicles. Thanks, Howard, for you sage comments.
