But like you said the gas must be from the cheap state to begin with so they will take multiple trips to even need to break even and then the cost must stay that low in the other state each time. But yes the wear on the car will cost more in the long run.
It said Explorer hybrid for that part, so i was curious and looked it up.
26mpg, 18gallon tank, $7/gal in one state and $4 in the next state over
Thats about 5 gallons to drive 120 miles
It costs $126 to fill up in the $7 state, and $72 in the $4 state
Thats a $50 savings pump vs pump, but $40 in gas to get there and back again IF that gas is from the cheap state
Ill pay the extra $10 and avoid crazy mileage on my car, thanks
