Well you could also look at it this way.........Michigan to California round trip is about 4500 miles give or take, at least when we did Detroit to Palm Springs over Christmas. Add a bit more to San Diego and back and you are at 5,000 miles.
The Aviator would probably get 20 mpg at the very best. That would be 250 gallons at about $3/gallon. Looking at 750 round trip.
So go rent a Chevy Malib with a 4 cylinder. Awesome car, btw, we just bought one for Mrs. Number 3. Now you are talking 33 mpg or 150 gallons at $3/gallon or $450 round trip.
Does the $300 savings in gas help justify renting a little bigger car than the Focus? Could substitute a Ford Fusion............if you had too. Same mpg equation.
Just an idea.
