Answer 3

I'm not eureopean but I will give You an answer from SW Idaho USA for a comparison to any other Euro answers.  There is NO public transport from my home to work.  I  drive a 30 year old car 52 miles round trip daily to work and back.  It's a '78 Toyota Celica GT and it gets around 23 mpg.  I burn 13 gal a week.  I can buy many truckloads of gasoline for the difference in cost for a new 35mpg car at $20,000 to replace the Celica I bought used 4 yrs ago for $800.  Economy of a car does NOT depend on gasoline mileage alone.  Very few of todays 35mpg cars will last 30 years.  A car is not only economy in my life.  It must also be a little nasty.  I don't really like any small cars but I particulary HATE wimpy economy only cars like the Prius that have no more acceleration than a fully loaded concrete mixer.  I'm old school, got my driving liscence in 1963.  In my mind the best economy is to get from point A to Point B the fastest.  My time is worth 5 times the price of gasoline.  Compared to the cars I owned and drove as a young man the Toyota Celica I drive now is pretty much a golf cart.  Yet at 30 years old it does the job and outruns cars, suv's and pickup trucks both gas and diesel at up to 40 times it's purchase price.  In My mind THAT'S Economy.  I drive it instead of a 37 year old one ton Chevy pickup truck that gets 14 MPG Theres NASTY.......Not economical but if cost was no option I would choose to drive it.  for me it's not about transportation it's about enjoyment.
