Default Selling because of cost of gas? Might need to think again!

Thinking about trading in your vehicle for a fuel efficient vehicle? Well if the cost of gas is your only reason, it might not be the deal you think it is. Here is an interesting article which does a nice cost analysis just to show that you might not be saving what you think you are:

Of course these numbers aren't absolute, since everyone's circumstances are different, but I wonder how many people do a similar analysis before making the move? Me? I will be keeping my Hummer thank you very much!

That actually is the way people need to look at it. It can cost a fortune to save money at the pump.
