He is correct. I was figuring out how much gas I have ran through my PU truck in it's 225K mile life at 15 MPG and I probably paid for the truck twice. Then add in insurance @$900 a year x 11 yrs, oil/filters etc...
We won't even get into the $3500 (in 1968) fish and how much is being poured into it. Gas and the expensive oil...don't even start...
