I'm not sure if many of you have looked into this or but it was interesting to me so I figured I would share. I was doing all the math myself and thought there has to be a calculator somewhere to do this and sure enough it was a google search away. I was getting the exact same numbers doing the math myself. It may make you think next time you go driving like an ass.

This one pretty much does all the work for you, much easier to use:

This one will let you plug in more information:
www.aaat.com

Here is another site to help you find gas prices in your area because if your anything like me you just choose not to look most of the time and pretend it's not that bad. Just select your location and fuel grade.

I didn't get an option for a 4.0 explorer, but the 5.0 cost a little more than 2 grand. I need a vespa.
