Fuel Mileage facts

I would prefer to find a used car but a nice one to drive.
I just bought a 2000 Dodge Caravan with all wheel drive & 85,000 miles for $3200 including tax. It is an excellent driving car and I know it'll need tires in a year or so. It gets 20 MPG but I can buy a lot of gas for $10,000! At $4 a gallon & 20 MPG (vs 40 MPG) the break even for driving an econobox is 100,000 and I have a much more comfortable ride plus insurance is much cheaper.

The hard part is finding a used car that was taken care of and with low mileage.
