In 1991 I purchased a 1989 Hyundia for $3500. I maintained it until 2002 when I decided to reward myself with a brand new SUV. A little pricy, but I figured I deserved it. It was paid for in three years. I take public transit to work a majority of the time now so my gas bill isn't bad. I plan to maintain and drive it for another 10 years barring any serious mechanical issues. I totally agree. In 1991 I purchased a 1989 Hyundia for $3500.

But when you look at the total cost of a car, gas is fairly minor. Much more important is the cost of the car, how many years you can keep it running, financing cost (don't), maintenance cost. Just ignoring your car dealers schedule for maintenance and only having the minimum required done by an independent can save you tons. Good point, driving habits can cost you.
