Operating Costs

We're planning to move further upstate from my job, for a number of reasons. This will extend my commute, but I think it's an acceptable tradeoff. Given that I'll be using more gasoline, and that prices will continue to rise as we descend Hubbert's Peak, my vehicle's fuel economy will be extremely important. This is easy to compare: FuelEconomy.gov lists the ratings for the Dodge Shadow and Honda CR-V. So, 67.2 miles per day, at 24 miles per gallon, at >$2.00 per gallon, is at least $5.60 per day in fuel costs, or $1,400 for the year.

The gas is still cheaper than my time.
