So, you think buying that new carburetor, changing gears, or even going so far as putting in a transmission with an overdrive gear is going to save you money on gas? Sure, it will save you money on gas - but will it save you more money than the cost of the upgrade? Probably not! Not any time soon, at least.
I came up with a formula to determine exactly how many miles you'll have to drive after a so-called fuel-economy upgrade to break even in fuel savings and used it to create this calculator. Simply enter your current MPG, the MPG you expect to get after the upgrade, the average price of a gallon of gas in your area, and the cost of the upgrade and the calculator will do the rest. Give it a try! |
