One other thing to figure in is the actual cost of parts. Using an sm420 that can be rebuilt for $200 and will last a million miles is one choice. An overdrive transmission may cost you $2000 or more to purchase, install and setup.

How long will it take for you to burn through $1800 in gas?

Certainly less than it would have 10 years ago, but it's something to keep in mind.
