[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a four year old Acura MDX and I love it. 70K and not a single issue with the car since getting it. However, it takes premium gas and the mileage is poor. If I did it again, I'd try to find a slightly smaller SUV that takes regular gasoline. I would save $1000-$1500 a year on fuel. That would pay for a lot of maintenance over time. If you don't drive as much as I do, the fuel cost differential won't be as extreme. I put on about 18K miles per year.[/quote] I think your 1,000-1,500 savings in fuel is way off base. Assuming 18,000 mile a year. The Acura will likely average 18 mpg which is 1,000 gallons. Premium right now is 2.79 versus 2.39 for regular. Smaller SUVs May get 28 mpg. The Acura would cost 2,790 and the CRV would cost 2,390, only $400 difference. [/quote]
