>but when you do the math the fuel savings is insubstantial What does this mean? I drive ~900 miles a week on a car that cost $6500 used, and makes ~48MPG. Personally I'm sick of being branded as a left-coast-virtue-signaler for owning a vehicle that makes sense for my use. |

> a car that cost $6500 used
That's the smart financial decision. The math works better when buying used. By that same math, I had a '97 Suburban with a 5.7l V8 that cost me less to own and operate than a new Prius, but only because I bought it used.
If I buy a new car, though, it's going to be a BEV. The driving experience and cost savings are more than incremental.
