Why are you even here? Do you know anything about the Elio? Do you even care?
Right on the front page of Elio's web page, 84mpg:

What car costs 6k a year to maintain, let alone 10k? You are getting screwed if you are paying that much. I can see if you bought a 35k car with no down payment. Car payment alone is $6,400/year, but that's not maintenance, that's the purchase price, which is done through a loan. The Elio costs ~7,500, not including any options. So you can buy several Elios for your 1 car.
Uhm..... Hello! Elio's has not been made yet so NO..... 84MPG is not happening.
Uhmm.... Read the post... Fuel AND maintenance. Example ( my auto ), New Battery, cables, connectors, alternator = $600 this month. New tires $800 last month. Like I said, your experience in undoubtedly different. Both my cars are paid off BTW but are up in years. Gas is also a big deal when you have a long commute. Best you consider that everybody's experience is not as puppy and rainbows as your own. You know not what you speak of.
