Glatt, I know every time you go somewhere you'll take the car that gets twice the mileage if possible. But instead of thinking half or twice the mileage, work out some numbers.
After you've determined what kind of mileage you're actually getting, figure what the difference between them is in dollars for say, 10 miles, 50 miles, 100 miles. It may not be as big as you think.
There has been an ongoing back and forth on my truck forum. Two engines, the smaller 300hp uses regular gas, the larger 400hp uses premium. These guys will argue the advantage of one or the other ad infinitum.
So I figured a difference between the regular and premium seems to hold at about 25 cents, and both engines are averaging about 20 mpg (yeah, same mileage), so the bottom line for the larger engine is about $12.50 for a thousand fucking miles. They still argue.
Of course these numbers don't pertain to you, but looking at the money puts it in a different perspective.
