[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1580675, member: 35314"] In regards to the question of why people care about MPG if they can afford a Raptor or TRX, the money spent isn't exactly the same. The vehicle cost is an asset, a depreciating one at that.. Obviously, gas is an expense. You're never getting any of the money spent on gas (or insurance) back. When you factor in that a Raptor likely is going to hold it's value better than the TRX, and gas and insurance is likely to be higher, it wouldn't be surprising to see TRX cost of ownership being several hundred more per month than the Raptor. And sure, you get more HP in the TRX, but is that worth the extra cost? Is range more important than the extra HP and extra cash each month? The whole idea that if you can afford a Raptor than you can't be concerned about the cost of owning a TRX doesn't add up. Obviously, there is a budget that fits a Raptor but not a TRX. As well, there's a budget that could fit a TRX, but would rather have a Raptor and some other toy to play with, etc. [/QUOTE]
