Fuel Mileage facts

Good thread, in the future I hope to use an abody for a daily driver/commuter. One thing I need to take into acct(for myself anyways).....lets say you buy a new disposable car AND it gets 300k before you ditch it. How much is it going to cost you just in service?? I would assume quite a bit unless you are a mechanic. For me, being able to work on a daily driver/commuter without having to haul it into a shop and pay $100/hr labor is a HUGE bonus. Just something else to consider.
