I just traded my ‘04 Cavalier with 251K that got 30 MPG for an ‘09 Cobalt that gets over 30 MPG. My friend at work has an ‘02 Saturn that gets over 40 MPG. Course they folded the Saturn. Brilliant!

I believe this Cramer nails it on mileage and cost savings.

Fairly high mileage gas powered vehicles will be hard to replace on an overall cost basis. The technology is proven and the original cost of the vehicle is reasonable.

Why would anyone in their right mind buy a car from GM aftre all the money we taxpayers have handed them?

Why would anyone in their right mind buy a car from GM after all the money we taxpayers have handed them?

I have a 96 Cavalier that gets 31 mpg in pre rush hour city driving-like on the road but slower. It cost me $800 and I have had to do no more than routine maintenance and replace a timing chain in the three years I have had it. I am not in a hurry to trade it for a Volt or Prius.
