Certainly it's based on worst case scenarios. Though even if you cut in half it's still a chunk of change worth considering. Keep in mind 11.5k miles at the median gas price ($3.50/g) by itself is ~$1350 with a car doing 30MPG. 11.5k miles is also a couple of oil changes, potential increase in insurance costs, and you're going to see a lot of general failures of parts after a few years.
