out with the old and in with the new

The best I ever did was on a 2007 Yukon Denali. I bought it used in 2007 with 17000 miles on it. It was an absolutely beautiful vehicle. We used it for over 2 years and put an additional 33000 miles on it. We had 150 in repairs, $150 on oil, $0 on tires and sold it in the spring of 2010 for exactly what we paid for it. With insurance and registration and discounting fuel it might have worked out to less than $.08 per mile. Fuel was expensive back then though. I remember filling it up in the city of Drumheller and it cost $150. That would have been enough fuel to go about 400 miles. So fuel then was the big cost of driving.....about $.37 per mile.
