The price of cars can be deceptive because cheaper cars which get worse gas mileage can be more expensive than costlier cars with better gas mileage. And even if you know that one car (say, an SUV) will be more expensive than another car, you don't really know how much until you factor in the cost of gas and the gas mileage. Our calculator below allows you to do that by entering what you believe the average price of gas will be over the next few years and an estimate of how many miles you drive per year.
