The 53 is the weekend car. I average 35,000-40,000 miles A YEAR in my Daily Driver. I gave the 4Runner (17mpg, 93 octane) to the wife and bought the new Camry SE V6 (25mpg so far, 87 octane).
@ 35k miles (4Runner) = $6691/yr Gas
@ 35k miles (Camry V6) = $4200/yr Gas
So...I'm saving $2500/yr on gas.
Nothing irrelavant there, don't ya think
