The difference amount saved on gas in a newer car definitely compensates for the maybe couple hundred more you spend on taxes.

I’m gonna do the math on this this week and get back to you because I’m genuinely curious. My husbands new vehicle 2k per year in taxes. My 10 yr old vehicle 200$ per year in taxes- wondering if cost of said new vehicle can actually save me 1800 per year in gas at 8k miles Year year. Honestly I’m doubtful but want to do the math vs being a subjective skeptic.

Surprised that your husband's is so expensive. My 2019 prius was $500 last year, so for the extra $300 I pay is definitely balanced out by gas saved in a hybrid but not sure with his taxes being so pricey

I wonder if yours are so low because of EV credits?
