So to save $750 a year in gas you're going to spend $3400 right now (26 K for Camaro trade, 29.4 for Honda)......you're going to be losing money for the next 5 years by buying a more fuel efficient car.

Thank you for this. Someone understands that selling a car for a more fuel efficient car strictly to "save gas money" is not a cost effective solution. The real solution is buy a cheap car or motorcycle. Spend the 3,000-5,000 up front and keep the Camaro aka your balls LOL
